Implementation of the low-level units (Keyboard, Mouse and Video) for all supported platforms is different from each other (well, with the exception of Unix being handled as one common group), so no special separation is necessary there. OTOH, Crt (once rewritten to be built on top of these low-level units) should be (almost?) completely platform independent and thus no separation would exist there either.

You would have to look at the file layout of a package by using PackageMaker first or by looking at an existing package. I didn't try this, it is just an idea.
