I like the idea of a new file; I have a hunch that it will grow, given
that we're expanding in this area, and perhaps we can find some existing
stuff to relocate there in the future.  I don't think a small file is a
problem, anyway.

How about amfuncs.c?  Maybe it can live in catalog/ instead of
utils/adt?
