Here's what I was picturing with this repository:

1. sanely ordered collection, organized in categories
2. headerdoc/gsdoc comments throughout
3. add tags to the comments that we could use specifically for 
repository purposes, i.e. "author", "maintainer", "url", "description", 
etc. ala python distutils package tags
4. some sort of bsd ports-style access to the classes

in order to resolve the packaging dispute, perhaps we could create a 
mechanism to allow users to actually create a custom library from only 
the files that they check out?  what i mean is that if i want the 
Snazzy, Spam and OhMyGodYouAreUgly classes, i could pull them down by 
specifying a name for the library, and a GNUmakefile would also be 
dynamically created and pulled down with the code, specifying only 
those files i'm grabbing along with the other pertinent information.

i know it sounds kinda complicated, but we're dealing with compiled 
code here, as opposed to perl modules from CPAN...

whatever works and works well, i'm all for.  as long as we can get to 
the code...
