that's a good point/idea.

for now i've made the More libs separate subprojects and use a custom
task to bring them altogether into a single package for release. so
yea, the rdocs of the single package will be garbled on install by
gems, but i'll add a notice as you suggest about that.

in making this change btw it became quite hard not to end up with two
distinct projects, one for Core and another for More. as the
repository currently stands, More isn't really recognizable as such b/
c Core is just a subproject along with all the others. it's kind of
weird. i think it's progress though. at the very least the More libs
are more managable, and now coders can depend on bits of pieces of
facets without having to install the whole thing if they don't want.
of course I prefer they just install the whole thing, but having the
option is probably good --after all that's what facets is about,
right?

speaking of spotlights, i've been thinking of putting those on the
wiki, so it's easier for others to contribute new spotlights. i'll
also keep a page on the website itself that reflects these but
formmated better.
