Not if I only depend on that one class. I only want to add one class,
not all of the classes in the category. Unless I'm missing something
very basic -- which is entirely possible :-)
What I would like is to add single classes from different categories.
Sure, I could change the category of, let's say, a plugin class. But, I
would like to keep the plugin under the VMMaker-Plugins category, and
not create a new category just to add it to a package.
