Yes, I saw pcitweak disappear, too, and I didn't see anything
regarding that on the lists. And no, I don't think you need to install
the whole OS to run pcitweak. You just need pcitweak and a few libs:
$ ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/pcitweak
/usr/X11R6/bin/pcitweak:
Start End Type Open Ref GrpRef Name
1c000000 3c005000 exe 1 0 0 /usr/X11R6/bin/pcitweak
07e05000 27e0d000 rlib 0 1 0 /usr/lib/libm.so.4.0
0efc0000 2eff5000 rlib 0 1 0 /usr/lib/libc.so.49.0
0e800000 0e800000 rtld 0 1 0 /usr/libexec/ld.so
I personally own a 4.3 (among others) CD set, so for me it's no
problem to extract the few files necessary to run pcitweak from the
CDs and add it to a new install by hand (wasn't necessary so far, I
always upgrade so far). Another option would be to download the old
release archives and extract the files from there, or you could get
the sources for pcitweak from the 4.3 source tree and compile it
yourself.
