The most obvious contenders here are certain files that are
"reached over" a lot (such as the mtree stuff), which I'd rather not
see in libc, or bother with making a separate (.a or .so) library for, but
maybe could end up in libutil. Something I'll work on during my next
rototill in distrib/ "soon"ish
