The is a bit of precedent in that there are several utility files
already. In those cases the utility files are in xorn/src/backend. But I
agree they should be in a subdirectory of xorn/src/backend.

re: gaf.netlist.backends.xspice The utility files are specific to the
backends and the backends themselves are installed in
$libdir/xorn/backends. It makes more sense to me to install backend
utility files as something like $libdir/xorn/backends/<backend-name> or
maybe $libdir/xorn/backends/support and import them accordingly since
gaf and gaf.netlist never actually touch them and they are more a part
of the xorn executable.

Thoughts?
