libwin32 did it. It wasn't that many dists. Jan Dubois might have pointers.

The thing that jumps out to me as a potential problem is dependencly
management. Particularly, if anything is mutually dependent, they should
stay in the same dist.

All,

Immediately after the next bioperl release in the next few weeks, we plan on
splitting up bioperl 'core' (~900 or so modules?!?) into separate focused
distributions.  This has been long overdue but delayed for many reasons,
primarily b/c no one wants to take it on.

Is there a precedent for something like this?  Any suggestions would be very
welcome.
