contrib code for 6.5

What should we do with this? I can do it, but I am unsure about it.

Hi,

I have updated my contrib code for version 6.5. In the attachment you will
find the directories array, datetime, miscutil, string, tools and userlocks
which replace the corresponding directories under contrib.

In contrib/tools you will find some developement scripts which I use while
hacking the sources. I hope they will be useful for some other people.

I have also added a contrib/Makefile which tries to compile and install all
the contribs. Unfortunately many of them don't have a Makefile or don't
compile cleanly.

I wasn't sure either, so close to a release :(

Yes. I will try and generate an actual diff so we can review it.

I have make a diff, and applied the diff, while adding the new files
from the distribution

One item stuck out as a problem:

	+ # Strip debian/rules install prefix if defined
	+ REAL_MODDIR = $(shell echo $(MODDIR) | sed 's|.*/debian/tmp||')

I really could not install these lines, and replaced mentions of
REAL_MODDIR with MODDIR. This seems too site-specific.

Vadim has asked for two more days, and the patch looked reasonable, so I
applied it, with the mentioned modification.
