But you can put them into the shared-libraries module in CVS, in the
splitoff directory.  That way other developers can see what you are
doing and there will be more examples.

(Non-core developers who would like to do this can email tarfiles to
me and I will add them.)  In the splitoff directory, I've been using
revision numbers which are higher than the current revision of the
package in fink, just to make the transition and testing easier.
