Signed-off-by: Marco Costalba --- Please consider this more of a RFC then a finished patch. Where possible, for each tool, the author's description is used as a summary. I found http://git.or.cz/ a good source. Tools are listed alphabetically in for each section. Feel free to add/modify comments or tool's summaries. As stated this is still a work in progress.
