I don't think there is a hard & fast rule to apply, Dar.  Serendipity 
Library's bookshelf shows six categories of handlers.  Could they 
exist in separate library stacks?...Certainly.

If some of the resources in Serendipity Library were free & open 
source and others were "pay for view", would I put them in one 
library?...Obviously not.

Would Serendipity Library look different if it were designed as a 
library for a specific standalone than a library of generic 
Transcript handlers & other resources?...Possibly.

As to the About window control, if you are providing a tool for 
others to use, try to keep it as flexible as possible.  I present 
About info in different ways in different stacks, from the 
traditional About field + RR logo to moving banner text + logo in the 
prompt field.

Engage the user at every sensory level possible, sez I.   :{`)

On a personal level, Dar, while I don't suggest for a minute that my 
answers are the best answers for everyone, you will find my answers 
to many of your questions exemplified somewhere in the files that 
comprise Serendipity Library.
