Should we distribute a Dutmite binary in the zipped package?

John Colvin got it, but I'll confirm: It's not at all strange or 
unusual that an undocumented tool isn't well-known.

It doesn't matter that it's in the tools repository or tucked 
away on some non-obvious page of the wiki.  If people don't see 
it in the first two places we expect them to look, then it may as 
well not exist to a lot of them.

I agree it should be added to the release tarball, but even that 
won't necessarily improve its visibility.  How often do you look 
for new things with strange names added to /usr/bin alongside the 
binaries you're actually using?

So I'll go a little further: not only should it be on the 
tooling-related pages, it should also be mentioned and linked in 
any place where we talk about reporting bugs, including the 
homepage of the bug tracker.
