Agree with the list
Additions:
  - documentations/howtos/examples (I think that this fell off the list in
    '03)
  - some platform specific directories and non-portable plugins (win32)

  - perhaps a separate CVS module for the CPAN Nagios::* modules

  - CVS module or dir for report generation scripts and notification
    scripts
