Splitting a repository

I have a project I have been working on for some time and one of its 
libraries has grown too much.
I'm now wanting to split that library into a separate git repository.
I'm wondering what's the best way to go around this.  Ideally I would 
like to have:
	* all history on those library files be moved to the new repository.
	* all history on those library files be removed from the original 
repository.

or:
	* have the original repository library directory be "linked" to the new 
repository.

Look at the documentation for "git-filter-branch". You can make a new
history for each of the split parts that you want.
