That depends mostly on the copyright/license. I would prefer not to include
any code in the package with other licenses than the new cc65 one (which is in
fact the zlib license). If these programs have another license, it does not
mean that they're unusable, but I would prefer having them in separate package
in another location.

The linker should be able to handle that if you move the fileentry structs
into a separate segment that comes first in the memory area.

Besides the license it would be nice if these programs integrate smoothly into
the existing tools (if the license permits that, of course). For the sprite
packer for example, it would be great to have it included into the cl65
frontend utility.

P.S.: Your other mail to the list bounced because of too much quoted material.
I would suggest stripping it down and reposting it to the list.
