Clean the contrib directory with torch and machete.
We've accumulated a lot of cruft in this directory over the years: so much, that it passed the point of being so disorganized that we no longer browsed through it to see how bad it had gotten. This patch (based on changes by rl1987) tries to remove the most useless items, and split the others into reasonable directories. It creates a new scripts/ directory for maint and test scripts. This patch was generated with the script below. No other changes are made in this patch. ############# # new directories mkdir -p contrib/test-tools mkdir -p contrib/or-tools mkdir -p contrib/dirauth-tools mkdir -p contrib/operator-tools mkdir -p contrib/client-tools mkdir -p contrib/test-tools mkdir -p contrib/dist mkdir -p contrib/dist/suse mkdir -p contrib/win32build mkdir -p scripts/maint mkdir -p scripts/test ############ # Deleted -- nobody who wants this is going to be looking for it here any # longer.

-<title>This is a Tor Exit Router</title>
-
-<!--
-
-This notice is intended to be placed on a virtual host for a domain that
-your Tor exit node IP reverse resolves to so that people who may be about
-to file an abuse complaint would check it first before bothering you or
-your ISP. Ex:
-http://tor-exit.yourdomain.org or http://tor-readme.yourdomain.org.
-
-This type of setup has proven very effective at reducing abuse complaints
-for exit node operators.
-
-There are a few places in this document that you may want to customize.
-They are marked with FIXME.

-<body>
-
-<p style="text-align:center; font-size:xx-large; font-weight:bold">This is a
-Tor Exit Router</p>
-
-<p>
-Most likely you are accessing this website because you had some issue with
-the traffic coming from this IP. This router is part of the <a
-href="https://www.torproject.org/">Tor Anonymity Network</a>, which is
-dedicated to <a href="https://www.torproject.org/about/overview">providing
-privacy</a> to people who need it most: average computer users. This
-router IP should be generating no other traffic, unless it has been
-compromised.</p>
-
-
-<!-- FIXME: you should probably grab your own copy of how_tor_works_thumb.png
- and serve it locally -->
-
-<p style="text-align:center">
-<a href="https://www.torproject.org/about/overview">
-<img src="https://www.torproject.org/images/how_tor_works_thumb.png" alt="How Tor works" style="border-style:none"/>
-</a></p>
-
-<p>
-Tor sees use by <a href="https://www.torproject.org/about/torusers">many
-important segments of the population</a>, including whistle blowers,
-journalists, Chinese dissidents skirting the Great Firewall and oppressive
-censorship, abuse victims, stalker targets, the US military, and law
-enforcement, just to name a few. While Tor is not designed for malicious
-computer users, it is true that they can use the network for malicious ends.
-In reality however, the actual amount of <a
-href="https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq-abuse">abuse</a> is quite low. This
-is largely because criminals and hackers have significantly better access to
-privacy and anonymity than do the regular users whom they prey upon. Criminals
-can and do <a
-href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2008/08/web_fraud_20_tools.html">build,
-sell, and trade</a> far larger and <a
-href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2008/08/web_fraud_20_distributing_your.html">more
-powerful networks</a> than Tor on a daily basis. Thus, in the mind of this
-operator, the social need for easily accessible censorship-resistant private,
-anonymous communication trumps the risk of unskilled bad actors, who are
-almost always more easily uncovered by traditional police work than by
-extensive monitoring and surveillance anyway.</p>
-
-<p>
-In terms of applicable law, the best way to understand Tor is to consider it a
-network of routers operating as common carriers, much like the Internet
-backbone. However, unlike the Internet backbone routers, Tor routers
-explicitly do not contain identifiable routing information about the source of
-a packet, and no single Tor node can determine both the origin and destination
-of a given transmission.</p>
-
-<p>
-As such, there is little the operator of this router can do to help you track
-the connection further. This router maintains no logs of any of the Tor
-traffic, so there is little that can be done to trace either legitimate or
-illegitimate traffic (or to filter one from the other). Attempts to
-seize this router will accomplish nothing.</p>
-
-<!-- FIXME: US-Only section. Remove if you are a non-US operator -->
-
-<p>
-Furthermore, this machine also serves as a carrier of email, which means that
-its contents are further protected under the ECPA. <a
-href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2707">18
-USC 2707</a> explicitly allows for civil remedies ($1000/account
-<i><b>plus</b></i> legal fees)
-in the event of a seizure executed without good faith or probable cause (it
-should be clear at this point that traffic with an originating IP address of
-FIXME_DNS_NAME should not constitute probable cause to seize the
-machine). Similar considerations exist for 1st amendment content on this
-machine.</p>
-
-<!-- FIXME: May or may not be US-only. Some non-US tor nodes have in
- fact reported DMCA harassment... -->
-
-<p>
-If you are a representative of a company who feels that this router is being
-used to violate the DMCA, please be aware that this machine does not host or
-contain any illegal content. Also be aware that network infrastructure
-maintainers are not liable for the type of content that passes over their
-equipment, in accordance with <a
-href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512">DMCA
-"safe harbor" provisions</a>. In other words, you will have just as much luck
-sending a takedown notice to the Internet backbone providers. Please consult
-<a href="https://www.torproject.org/eff/tor-dmca-response">EFF's prepared
-response</a> for more information on this matter.</p>
-
-<p>For more information, please consult the following documentation:</p>

-<li><a href="https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq-abuse">Tor Abuse FAQ</a></li>
-<li><a href="https://www.torproject.org/eff/tor-legal-faq">Tor Legal FAQ</a></li>
-</ol>
-
-<p>
-That being said, if you still have a complaint about the router, you may
-email the <a href="mailto:FIXME_YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS">maintainer</a>. If
-complaints are related to a particular service that is being abused, I will
-consider removing that service from my exit policy, which would prevent my
-router from allowing that traffic to exit through it. I can only do this on an
-IP+destination port basis, however. Common P2P ports are
-already blocked.</p>
-
-<p>
-You also have the option of blocking this IP address and others on
-the Tor network if you so desire. The Tor project provides a <a
-href="https://check.torproject.org/cgi-bin/TorBulkExitList.py">web service</a>
-to fetch a list of all IP addresses of Tor exit nodes that allow exiting to a
-specified IP:port combination, and an official <a
-href="https://www.torproject.org/tordnsel/dist/">DNSRBL</a> is also available to
-determine if a given IP address is actually a Tor exit server. Please
-be considerate
-when using these options. It would be unfortunate to deny all Tor users access
-to your site indefinitely simply because of a few bad apples.</p>
