Oh great... what are we up to now, option #452? sheesh... :)

So you're suggesting something like:

Gtk2-Ex-Constants
Gtk2-Ex-Utils
Gtk2-Ex-Simple-Dialogs
Gtk2-Ex-Simple-Other_Contribs

and then have a Bundle::Gtk2::Ex?

I kinda like the single package route as it's easier to maintain,
however I can see the benefit to the bundle as well. The only real
complicating factor I can see off-hand is that Gtk2::Ex::Simple::Dialogs
depends upon Gtk2::Ex::Constants... Essentially I feel that if there are
any inter-module dependencies they should probably be packaged together
anyways as to get one you're going to get at least two if not more.
Bleh, I know nothing... brain hitting overload mark... too many
options... GAH!

Alright... we need some sort of consensus here... but before that we
need to know _all_ the options... has anyone else something to add to
the list?

a) One package for Gtk2::Ex::*
b) One package for Gtk2::Ex::* and another for Gtk2::Ex::Simple::*
c) A package for each Gtk2::Ex::* and one bundle Bundle::Gtk2::Ex
d) Give in to the anarchy and let everyone decide for themselves how
     they package their stuff but at least agree on name spaces
e) <insert yet another complicated flying monkey wrench here/>
