[On Tools/scripts]

Kill it and I'll be after you with an axe. Admittedly there's a lot of cruft that should be removed, rewritten or reorganised, but there's some mighty useful stuff there too (eg. logmerge.py). I don't see why I should suffer just because other people don't know where to look...

Maybe more tools should follow the evolution of ndiff and migrate to the library (where ndiff lives on as difflib).
