I use this PageRankBot - Supplemental Results Detector (SEO Tool) (desktop and web applications) and I also came up with a hack after a work of some weeks, how to see the pages of the supplemental index only.

Recently I was reading posts of famous SEO professionals, claiming that disallowing search engines to follow the contact, about or the privacy policy pages would be a good idea against diluting PR.

I fully disagree with that! Those 3 pages play an important role for Search Engines in terms of:
Credibility - GEO Location - Trust.

If you have a web site and you do not have your company address on every page, then it would been added in the contact or about page. If the SE are disallowed to follow those pages, you hide you location from Google. So what? Think about local search. And this issue is a trust factor for Google, and other SE. The same is also with the privacy policy.

I added to my sites besides their HTML Privacy Policies a second Privacy Policy called "P3P". Check my site with this: PrivacyFinder
Stick there for a while and have a closer look to it. Interesting...
