Right now this is done by manually patching entries in the bin/asset and bin/inventory directories (though these are now 
relocatable via OpenSim.ini properties).  There is information on this at

http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Inworld_Data#Creating_a_custom_library

However, the mechanism is nasty (having to futz about with both asset and inventory entries, and manually cross 
reference UUIDs, etc.) and does need an overhaul.  The format between various things (such as inventory archives, REST 
and library inventory) should probably be much more similar in the medium term than it is now.
