Not porting 'all tools out there' is of course understandable. But what's 
the point of this extra-extra repo then? It would seem that a tool in that 
repo is not 'a random tool out there'. I don't see how the extra-extra repo 
would help people 'a quick way to integrate their own independent tools'. 
Integrate with what, exactly?

Having three repos to put tools in and find them again is what seems awful 
to me (assuming $CLANGSVN/tools is not going away), and doesn't do anything 
to encourage collaboration between the multiple tool authors writing to this 
list about the tools they are writing. Maybe that was never a goal though?

I could see myself writing a Makefile for the Qt 4 to Qt 5 porting tool, but 
even having all the tools in one place would make it easier to maintain a 
gui for all the tools outside the repo and CMake only (I'd want the tool to 
offer the for loop porting, c++11 porting etc).

Thanks,

Steve.
