Cool. Still not sure about moving it to util instead of contrib. It does not really fit in with vercmp, testdb etc which are distributed by "make install".
It was more a technical than a logical separation. It was easy to add pactree C in src/util next to all the other alpm based C programs. 1) it helps to look at the existing C standalone progs to start a new one 2) the Makefile / .gitignore is easy to extend These two arguments probably apply to having scripts in contrib/ directory. I don't know how to best deal with this technical separation and the more logical one (utils shipped by make install vs contrib stuff).
