Then why don't we just remove it? Problem solved ...
Because it's a needed maintenance tool. There isn't any particularly good reason for it to get installed as though it were an interesting program for users, though, so I think that this is mostly a matter of poor packaging choices. I am in fact intending to remove the contrib/findoidjoins files from the set of stuff installed by Red Hat's RPMs.
I suppose you could make an argument for moving this directory out of contrib and putting it under src/tools instead, but that seems like more work (and loss of CVS history) than it's worth.
Then maybe there's a case for removing findoidjoins from WANTED_DIRS in contrib/Makefile? I agree this issue is so trifling that it's not worth spending much energy on.
On a very slightly related note, I see that ipcclean (which is a shell script) is installed on Windows by "make install". Do we want to fix that or trust the binary packagers to remove it?
cheers
