we could look at creating an extras package. the upside would be all of the
extras would be more likely to get installed, the downside is that they'd be
tied together release wise.

we also need to watch namespace issues. while i don't think there's danger of
gtk+ adding something called SizeRecall we probably ought to have a namespace
dedicated for extra stuff to ensure there won't be any such problems in the
future. thoughts?
