We use Feature Patches (http://help.eclipse.org/kepler/topic/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/concepts/feature.htm) to distribute certain modified CDT plugins as part of our product.

(I think we do end up having the entire CDT on our update site, but that's just because we couldn't find a way of stopping our update site build process from pulling in all dependencies - only our customized plugins come from our own build though, the rest is stock versions mirrored from download.eclipse.org.)
