I'm in the position of developing some of my own personal software, 
which I'm organising under ca.queensu.cs.dal (the first 3 of which might 
need to change depending on what my employer decides to say about it). 
So I have ...dal.edfmwk for one particular set of tightly correlated 
libraries, and ..dal.txt for a demo text editor, but I'd rather have 
...dal.something.specialized for all the various "grab bag" classes 
rather than having a dozen ...dal.specialized direct descendants.  Right 
now "something" is util, and the only other thing I can think of to 
replace it is equally generic: "lib".

Do you have any suggestions?
