Great idea.

How about this:

* We take all these proto files that are deemed "useful" and stick
them in the abs tree. This might end up being like 10 or so.
* The abs package installs them all to /usr/share/abs or
/usr/share/pacman/prototypes or something
* We post a mini-announcement about this, for completeness

Additionally, I said "lets just keep them in the abs CVS for right
now" but after talking to cactus, I'd say - if everyone is fine with
"spreading the word" here, we can kill those off two - I am impartial,
I was just leaning towards the less work / less confusion route.
