Which other utilities are being considered?  Has there been any
discussion or thoughts on this?

The API looks good to me.

How does documentation work for utilities now?  I guess changes should
be documented in the *_lib.cpp or *_lib.h and also gdal_utilities.dox,
similar to how the utilities closely coupled with certain alg/ APIs
(gdalgrid for example).

If I am reading correctly, a separate lib will now be created.  Is
this to keep the building cleaner? Is there a problem with just adding
it to the libgdal C API?
