How do you sort out Zinc and other Mame specific systems?

I don't know if I put a clear title for the topic, but anyway I'll try to make my point.  On emumovies I see that there are specific media sets for Emus or arcade systems such as Zinc, Namco22, Taito Classic, Data East and so on. So, first of all, my question is: how you can extract the relative emu or arcade system romset in no-time from a complete mame romset? I guess you can actually use ctrlmame with a dat, am I right? The only issue is that I don't remember how to do that...

Other question, does it make sense to subdivide your arcade romset into specific arcade or system romsets? From my point of view I like the idea because that's what most people do with neogeo and cps roms (after all they're all arcade systems). The downside is that you'll have duplicated copies of some roms that you already have in MAME (I never remove any roms from the main MAME romset) and that of all the specific are displayed in the main BigBox Menu. It would be cool if the specific arcade systems could be displayed after selecting the main category Arcade just like they were organized in subfolders. If I'm not wron, actually you can't do that with LB right now, but it would be quite cool to have that kind of feature.
