It's basically where stray stuff goes. It's not really trying to go anywhere AFAIK. It's simply where a program goes when we want to add something to be distributed with the compiler (e.g. rdmd) or which Walter finds useful for development (e.g. detab). It could just as easily be called miscellaneous as tools. - Jonathan M Davis
