Most if not all the utilities currently exist in their own respective source.  
What this means is most functionality should be pushed to a general library with 
the utility itself making calls to the API.

This gives us several advantages:

  - Small code base due to reusing code.
  - Testable API that covers all major aspects of rtems-tools.
  - More organisation of like-functionality in the code base.
  - Easier documentation for developers.
  - API versioning to let users easily write their own Python programs to take 
    place of our CLI tools.


The only functional differences between tools is the arguments it takes.  Those 
arguments can be directly linked to API calls thus making the front-end binaries 
simplistic.  The binaries themselves will serve as an example of how to use the 
API in a custom Python program.
