That would be one means of dividing it.

Mind you, I'm not inclusive of include files, they are not in the scope 
of the text.

Furthermore, you could subdivide, if you wanted.  For example, if you 
have this:

/usr/include/d/sdl/amazingsdlplugina/*
/usr/include/d/sdl/*

You can do either one library:

libD.sdl.<extension>

Or more:

libD.sdl.<extension>
libD.sdl.amazingsdlplugina.<extension>

, so long as a module can always be found in the most specific, extant 
library.
