I've had one for years - just like a similar C library that I started 
even earlier. I think its best to just let these things grow:

- I didn't like the standard C getopt() function, so wrote my own, which 
can also parse out non-option items on the command line and, knowing I'd 
use this a lot, it went straight into my support library. Somewhat later 
it got reimplemented in Java as my ArgParser class: there is no standard 
equivalent and something like it is essential if you tend to write non-
graphical Java programs. 

- I've done the same for tracing and debugging packages, and added other 
stuff as and when I needed to write it: circular buffers that hold the 
last 'n' log messages, a CSV support package, also my own design of 
regression testing support code ....

The trick is simply to recognise that a piece of code may be useful in 
other places too, write it from the outset to be free from application-
specific dependencies, add a regression test harness for it, and lob it 
into your support package rather than blindly building it into the 
application you're working on.
