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.
