Seperate different products into seperate releases e.g. Bullet vs Extras

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is an enhancement that would be nice but not necessary.  

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. By simply removing the Extras directory it saves ~5MB of tarball, 31MB
of source.    

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I don't know how many people use the Extra libraries, but for the purposes
of using Bullet itself they significantly increase the footprint of a
checkout/source tree.  

Browsing around most of them they appear to be less actively developed than
Bullet itself and independent releases might make it clearer about their
development status.  

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.75 linux

Please provide any additional information below.
I have been building my own tarball for redistribution using the following
patch and tar command.  
{{{

and the command

need to think about the Extras folder. Right now, people are using 
BulletColladaConverter for 
serialization/toolchain.

Once we have binary serialization, we probably move BulletColladaConverter to a 
separate project/tree.

COLLADA_DOM, libxml and BulletColladaConverter has been moved to 
http://dynamica.googlecode.com

Most of the large projects (COLLADA/XML etc) have been moved out to a different 
project, http://dynamica.googlecode.com

We want to keep the remaining bits, so let's close the issue.
