It is on my do list to unpackage "utility" into separate libraries.

There are two issues, the HTML presentation and the actual directory 
structure.  It is easy to change the HTML presentation; I'll do that within 
a few days along with other 1.18.1 fixes.

Changing the directory structure is messier because of CVS.  Does CVS 
support some notion of moving files from one directory to another?  I'll 
try to figure that out, but if any CVS experts know the best way to do 
that, please let me know.  I guess the plan ought to be announced ahead of 
time or it might be pretty confusing to anyone happening to be updating or 
committing at the same time files are being moved.
