Here's a preview of Pacifist written by Chris Breen of Macworld:

If you'd like to reinstall applications that aren't offered in the  
Custom Install screen -- applications in the Utilities folder, for  
example -- you can use Charles Srstka's $20 Pacifist. It works this  
way: Insert your Mac OS X Installer disc. Download Pacifist and launch  
it. In the window that appears click the Open Apple Install Discs  
button. A window will appear offering you the single choice to look at  
the OSInstall package. Click OK.

Pacifist will churn away for a bit and then you'll see a window titled  
OSInstall.mpkg. In this window you can dig down through the hierarchy  
of folders to find what you seek or you can enter the name of what  
you're after in the Find field and press Return. A drawer appears that  
lists the names of matching files. To install an item click the  
Install button in the upper-left corner of the window. You'll be  
prompted for your administrator's password. Enter it, click OK, and  
the item will be installed into its proper location on your Mac's hard  
drive.
