Little Tools

This is supposed to become a little collection of tools to facilitate everyday work with the UCSC file formats/tools. It's possible that they already exist somewhere in the the source tree but since I originally had (and there still is) so little documentation about the source tree, I might have overlooked them. I'm trying to add one per week. Please add comments here if you think that something can be done easier with a tool from the source tree.
