You don't list the Java API in the interface table.  What's the commitment
level?

Hrm.  I'm really not a big fan of creating new entries under /usr just for
a handful of utilities.  At the very least, the man pages should just go in
/usr/share/man (otherwise they're not discoverable).  Probably the
utilities should go in /usr/bin.  The names are somewhat generic, but not
hugely so.
