It's not nothing; we used to carry the tools here, and replaced them with pointers when the tools themselves went away. That was certainly useful for a period of time.

However, I would certainly agree that that period of time is probably over; the scripts started shipping in upstream vim in mid-2008. I'd be happy to see this directory go away whether or not the rest of contrib/ is dropped.
