There already exists the means to do exactly as you suggest. It's called
the extension and augmentation files, exactly as Colen has been suggesting.
Create you own augmentation file with your new tag group. Then create an
extension file that "extends" the various existing cards with your own
modifications. If you are doing the packages, then a separate data file is
all you need, and CVEdit makes that a breeze.
Once you have your new files, they are separate from the core data files.
Mark all the files as "read only" so that CV can't delete them (to be
safe). Then just tell CV to import the new data files, UNCHECKING the box
on the import form that says to delete files not included in the import
file. Your new files are left untouched (by marking your files as read
only, I don't think CV will touch them, so this should be an added level of
safety).
Hope this helps,
Rob
