Cucumber is awesome and destined to rule the world. As that starts
to happen, has there been any thought of a mechanism for the
community to build a library of common, generally useful steps that
can be used across projects? I've got stuff that I use for myself at:
http://github.com/mdoel/cukesteps/tree/master
This is stuff that I wish were in the default webrat_steps.rb file
that you get at the start. Would it be better to fork Cucumber and
add them there and send a pull request to Aslak?
It seems to me that there's an opportunity for packaging together
and sharing steps, but am curious of folks thoughts on the best way
to go about this.

Great stuff, Mike.
I had a similar thought a while back, but it never really took off:

I feel like this might be better suited to being a separate project,
as you'll eventually have steps that are only relevant in certain
contexts (we have quite a few that depend on factory_girl, for
example), and it's likely to change at a different rate to the core
cucumber code.
It's almost like you want a kind of plug-in mechanism for sharing re-
usable step libraries.
