Hi George,

What is the rationale of treating this specially and not like any other
contrib software? IIRC, a few things from toolkit gets installed in
/usr/share/dtrace/toolkit currently which is pretty handy at times. I
was hoping we install more things but it looks like now we'd have to go
get it from a git repo.

Cheers,
Hiren
