Organizing Shapes and Palettes

Is there any way to give my stencil menu a better organization?

Over time, I've collected a large set of stencils and other  
customizations.  That stencil menu is starting to get a bit cluttered  
and unwieldy and I'm looking for a way to clean it up.  I've gone  
into my ~/Library/Application Support/OmniGraffle/Stencils directory  
and done some work.  I've made subdirectories for categories and  
shuffled appropriate stencils around.  It helps some.

But this doesn't address the Palettes, nor does it address the  
stencils that are bundled into OmniGraffle itself.  I suppose I could  
start mucking about inside that package "Contents/Resources/English",  
but that doesn't seem like the best solution, especially across  
upgrades.

In addition, some of the Stencils really could use better names.  As  
interesting as I think the items in "FiguresByThor" and  
"WireframeShapes" are, they really aren't very descriptive as to  
their purpose.

What I'm looking for is a general "Add-ons Manager", similar to the  
bookmarks editor you find in Firefox or Safari, that would let me  
customize these add-ons as I like.

Any thoughts?
