libcurl, SQLite, libpng, libbzip2, and the WindowsAPI stuff all sound like
Excellent items to include for standard distribution. It is really nice to
just
have these items available like zlib and zip.
Personally I think Lua would make a nice standard extension language, but
the
license is MIT.
So if the Phobos devs are willing, lets git some of these in.
I have started D bindings for Tcl, I volunteer to support them.

Tcl uses a BSD-like license (which might keep it out the standard D
library...)

Regarding the licensing issues... maybe an officially "blessed" library
(libphobos-ext) could be made for all the things that does not go well
with the boost license then? A bit messy but it would open up access to
a great number of libs with a default dmd + phobos + phobos-ext
installation.
I guess BSD/MIT/lgpl etc. licenses are permissive enough for almost
every case anyway.
