organizing collections of small modules

[Eric S. Johansson]

I have a bunch of small modules that I use within my application.  Most 
of these modules are single file modules.  Currently, I have them set up 
as stand-alone modules but because it's a royal pain to fetch five or 10 
of these modules for each application and tracking whether or not they 
are all up to date, I'm considering putting them all into one collection 
(rcsoc  a.k.a. random cross-section of code[1]) so it's easier to load, 
install, and manage.

Are there better techniques for managing collections of modules in 2.4 
or later?
