i kind of like how SDL manages games, apps, demos, and libraries that have
been created around their *core* library.  they have each in a seperate
download. this keeps the *core* plib very low level and clean.

http://www.libsdl.org/libraries.html
http://www.libsdl.org/demos.html
http://www.libsdl.org/apps.html
http://www.libsdl.org/games.html

right now, http://plib.sourceforge.net has a few links to the more
prominent projects that use plib.  it would be interesting and useful
to see more in a format like http://www.libsdl.org/games.html.  i
would certainly be interested in adding my own project there.

as for directory structure in cvs, i think the following might work:

plib - core library
apps/ssg_viewer
apps/ssg_converter
apps/mod_player
demos/tux_example
demos/fnt_example
libs/ssg_sky
libs/keyflier
libs/particle_engine

other, *large* projects like ppe and tux_kart, of course, would have
their own cvs source repositories like now.
