Add API to atom.packages

It would be great to be able to access the fuzzy-finder lib off of an api on atom.packages for reuse in other packages.

What part of it are you trying to reuse?

You should be able to open it by triggering commands from your package, and the UI is largely done by extending SelectListView.

I would like to extend the ProjectView class for a package I am writing.

If you want to require the ProjectView directly you can use the following code:

path = require 'path'
packagePath = atom.packages.resolvePackagePath('fuzzy-finder')
ProjectView = require path.join(packagePath, 'lib', 'project-view')

You probably want to wrap the require in a try/catch in case the fuzzy-finder package is disabled or not installed.

I think once this package matures a bit more we can explore exporting the classes directly on the package object.
