Let's call it ext/.  In the future we may factor them out to FreePAN.
In particular, I think Pugs-Documentation still belongs to ext/.

Let's still call it modules/.

That would be simply lib/Pugs/MakeMaker.pm.

That should become separate CPAN distributions, really.  If they are
to stay in the source tree, maybe contrib/.

If they are working, they stay in ext/; otherwise modules/.  That means
both of them are now modules/ material.

Does that sound sane?
