One option would be to put useful tools in poi-examples. One advantage is that we avoid having classes with main methods in the core jars. Or we could add a poi-tools jar if we risk making poi-examples more complicated by adding tools there.

This was a handy tool on it's own for inspecting the raw contents of .xls files, fairly useful when investigating bugs with handling of the raw format in HSSF. Is there a replacement? Not sure about the other tools that are gone now, they might be useful for some specific things, but at least I did not use them much. Thanks... Dominik.
