What is this:
cxitool is a useful PC app that converts *.3dsx homebrew executables directly to cxi's, which are the building blocks of the CIAs that all you pirates know and love. This app was released a few months ago, but is was buried in a devkitpro repo so it has largely gone unnoticed. The author, fincs, has chosen not to publicize it for whatever reason, even though the source is public. I assume it will be a part of a devkipro update sometime in the future, but that seems like forever given there has not been an official update since January.
This can be very useful for instances where the 3dsx author has chosen not to provide a cia, and has the source code closed (or too difficult to compile). A lot of older 3dsx homebrew has suffered this fate and this app could be of great benefit to making them more accessible to a new audience.
