I've gotten to that point in my project too. I set up source elements in control.1st. I made a "sourcebooks" parent with the "selectable" element set to "no":

Code:
  <source
    id="Sourcebks"
    name="Sourcebooks"
    selectable="no"
    description="Collection of rules from Qin supplements that can be turned on and off">
    </source>
Then I added a source element for each sourcebook for the game, such as:

Code:
  <source
    id="qinLegends"
    name="Qin Legends"
    abbrev="Legends"
    parent="Sourcebks"
    default="no"
    reportable="no"
    sortorder="1"
    description="Controls whether material from Qin Legends is available">
    </source>
Finally, I'm creating a new thing_xxxxx.dat file for the source, adding a "usesource" element to the things in it:

Code:
<usesource source="qinLegends"/>
I think you can get more granular than that by making the individual sourcebooks not selectable, then adding sources to represent individual rules options.

Hope that helps.
