I choose d.  I don't have a problem with e.g. sharing the
Gtk2::Ex::Simple namespace with others, I think first-come first-serve
is reasonable, and I don't think anyone has objected to
Gtk2::Ex[::Simple].  I also like the idea of the bundle.  

That gives you the freedom to bundle your dialog stuff as you think is
logical.  I don't see a benefit in bundling every damn thing
separately.  If there are mutual dependencies, keep them in the same
tarball.

That still doesn't preclude people from submitting classes for inclusion
in already-existing tarballs.
