Distributing vs. re-using source code?

Hi,

Since I started using Cocoa, the framework and language have invited me to write oodles of reusable classes and categories. I suppose you have done the same, so I guess you've also faced the problem where to put these?

Since I distribute some of my apps to other people, I am often facing the problem of having to track down all the auxiliary classes a project uses because otherwise the recipient will be missing half the files. And since this is reusable code, and shared between various projects, I can't just keep them with their project either.

Has anyone found a solution? In ye olde days, I used to put aliases to the files in other projects' folders and then let StuffIt follow the Aliases when packing. But xCode can't cope with Aliases (and will actually pick up the alias's empty data fork instead of the original even if I point it at the original), so that's not an option anymore.

 What do you do?
