RFC: cleanup tools/, split into developer tools and user extras

Hi,
tools/ is turning into a dumping ground for all kind of stuff that does not
fit into the other dirs.
At least packagers are left with guessing as e.g. the tools/README is
outdated, so at least the OpenSUSE packaging spec I recently saw just dumps
everything into one package calligratools. Surely not perfect.
User-oriented:
calligra
okularodpgenerator
properties
quickprint
converter
thumbnail
Developer-oriented:
cstester
fixsrc
iconcheck
scripts
slidecompare
Any proposals how to reflect this splitup in the directory hierarchy?
My idea woud be to move all user-oriented stuff into a new toplevel dir named
"extras/", as "tools" seems rather standard to contain developer utilities,
while "extra" somehow sounds like more-useful stuff, so packagers should
better get it, next to updated READMEs.
Now your better ideas :)
Cheers
Friedrich
