In my opinion, the tool by itself (without validation, experiments)  
is not easily accepted in a peer reviewed journal.
So, it is used for a specific trial, just choose a journal in the  
suitable application area.
Anyway, Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine has a section on  
software description, and recently a new open access journal is born,  
called Source Code for Biology and Medicine.
