Creating library from board?

I have a small board created from about 5 smd parts. How can I take that board & create a library from it, so I can insert that board into other projects.

simple example, lets say I have a board consisting of a LM7805 voltage regulator + two capacitors. I want to create a part so I can insert all three parts at once.

Surely that's exactly NOT what the OP asked for. What he did ask for
can't be done... and shouldn't be done the way he phrased it, although a
method of doing very-nearly-that-but-not would be a useful addition.

What he's after is a sub-module, whereby a small section of circuit can
be designed, both on schematic and board, and saved as an entity. Later,
this can be incorporated into a future design. When doing so, the
components and their nets are all imported into the schematic, including
geometric layout, appropriately renumbered to avoid clashes. At the same
time, the packages and copper are imported into the board, and defined
as a group for easy selection and placement.

exporting a lib from sch or pcb is very easy:

for you.. in the pcb program:
Menu: Files -> Exporting -> Library >> than 3 questions are for you, for what you need... than press ok
