I don't want to install the contributed tools into the usual site_scons 
directory. They go straight into the SCons install, alongside with 
"doc", "src", "QMTest" there would then be a "contrib" folder.
I can't offer any experience with pypi, so I don't know whether this is 
possible...but something like this should be the goal.

We can't be the first people on the planet trying to distribute 
additional software packages...there has to be a solution out there. 
Let's find and use it, instead of inventing our own. ;)
