Okay, to be more precise: There are scripts and files in
(gnunet.git)/bin and (gnunet.git)/contrib which serve a
similar purpose.
I know what's in there for most of its content, but it could
be structured better so that I can save a couple of lines and repetitions
while documenting it.

In my view, there are small script-like applications you'd install (or
at the very least compile) and which don't change very often. They are
used without any codebase dependency (like testsuites, install process,
etc).

Then there's testdata (configs, sourcecode,..) which could either be
moved into the respective folder in src/ or in a folder structure in
contrib/.
We have CI data, which will go into contrib/CI/$name.
Editor configs, eclipse so far as well as other config files
can go into contrib/conf/$name.
gns specific -> contrib/gns
etc pp.

What about "sound"? This looks like it should be moved into gnunet-gtk
instead.

I only need a review for buildbot, or at least info if our buildbots get
unhappy when the data that is buildbot related moves into contrib/ci/buildbot.

The rest will be resolved by myself.
