No, I think that's fine.

Would "Accessory" imply too much approval?

"Extras" would avoid clashing with any of the existing subdirectories,
for people who have the same flavor of "C/U/C<TAB>" habit as you but
for one of the other operating systems.  It also has precedence in
some of the Linux repository names.  Similarly "External" that you
already mentioned, or "Extension" or "Extended".
