Erm. So what exactly does "rehuff" it do?

Does it re-calculate more optimal codebooks, recompress the
stream and generate a new and shorter version of the original
stream?

So if rehuff can do that kind of magic, why can't Ogg Vorbis 1.0 
generate a better coded stream? Why is there a need for such a tool?
