-: May be that this days with less traffic than usual are optimal
-: to finish this minor (dtou and utod) issue once and for all.

As the utilities `djtar' and `utod/dtou' have taken on a life of their
own, may I suggest that the organization of src/utils be revised?  Since
`djtar' lives in its own directory, can we arrange the same for dtou/utod?

* choose a name for the directory (suggestions?) and move utod/dtou
  sources there.  Add a makefile (use the makefile from djtar/ as a
  template?)

* edit src/utils/makefile to recurse into the new directory and build
  utod and dtou

* move documentation for djtar from src/utils/utils.txi to
  src/utils/djtar/djtar.txi

* move documentation for dtou and utod from /src/utils/utils.txi
  to src/utils/*/dtou.txi and utod.txi.

* some changes (minor, I hope) will be needed (but where?) to reflect
  the new locations for the texinfo sources and make sure it all gets
  pulled together.


Eventually I'd like to see the same thing happen for djasm (e.g.,
src/utils/djasm/).
