 *   IMHO, it must go to ports/utils, like xsysstat...

Well, xperfmon belongs to utils/ more than x11/, that's for sure.

And for utils/ bloating, well I think it's more like a "misc"
category, because as you say, anything is a useful utility or it won't
be there in ports in the first place. :)

However, it seems like the way it has been in the past is that when we
have a large enough subgroup in utils, it will be separated
(archivers/ and japanese/ come to mind).

Right now, I see about three kinds of things in utils/....

System performance monitoring/checking stuff:

  iozone, top, tua, xdu, xperfmon, xsysstats

DOS/Windows/Mac emulators/floppy utilities:

  cpm, hfs, mtools, pcemu, wine

Others:
  
  amanda - shouldn't this be in archivers?
  colorls - sorry, it's all my fault
  ispell - can't put anywhere else
  less - ditto
  mmv - if colorls is moving, this goes with it
  mshell - hmm, maybe can move it to shells
  pgp.non-usa_only \ no pkg files...Andrey? :)
  pgp.usa_only     /
  rman - can't put anywhere else
  screen - don't know what this does

Maybe we can make new hierarchies for the first two groups.  The first
one can be called "sysutils" or "perfutils"...no idea about the second
one.
