I'm getting around to this now. Where (exactly) do you want it?
Should it be a subsection of the "Contributed software" section, or do
you want it as a section in it's own right.
This is the difference between
20. Source Tree Guidelines and Policies
MAINTAINER on Makefiles
Contributed Software
Shared Libraries
(i.e., it doesn't appear in the index, because it's a sub-section) and
20. Source Tree Guidelines and Policies
MAINTAINER on Makefiles
Contributed Software
Encumbered Files
Shared Libraries
(i.e., it appears at the same level as the other three).
Also, you wrote:

What's with the "PRIVATE SECTION"? Was this a mistake, or do you want
the whole lot added?
