[Dev] application.Util.py status

[Morgen Sagen]

I added Util.py (better name suggestions welcome) because I was getting  
tired of duplicating these methods in unit tests, schema documentation  
generator, and any other script making use of the repository and parcel  
manager outside of Chandler.  I believe at the moment the methods in  
Util.py are currently only being used by the schema documentation  
generator, but the hope is that everything would eventually use it  
(including Application.py).  So yes, it's a migration in progress *to*  
Util.py (or whatever name we pick).
