Wow those are old tool tables!  We changed to the new format in
2009.  I see there are several of them, one in univpwm and the rest
in runtests.

I think they are still auto-converted as soon as linuxcnc runs and
exits, though, so it seems like the problem shouldn't last very
long...?

It's documented here:

Yes this should probably be done in the 2.6 branch, which is the
oldest active release branch.
