Normally, utils/ is for tools that are directly useful to the Buildroot
user/developer, and pkg-stats is not really such a tool. It's kind of
an internal tool we use to generate this JSON/HTML stuff, but the
regular Buildroot developer does not need that.

One idea is to add ../../utils to the Python path used to search for
modules. I think it can be tweaked from inside a Python script. Not
sure if it's the nicest thing to do, though.
