That was my plan, so that any existing applications actually using it 
could just include the second JAR file as well.

I'll probably make it mirror the way we build the core classes (into a 
separate directory under "target", for example).  That way, we can even 
set it up to have example-specific unit tests, if any ever exist.

I don't really think we need two addons .. it looks like 
"src/examples/rss" might be a good place for this set, because it's self 
contained and has enough classes that you wouldn't want to combine it.
