New description:
I would like to propose that we remove OpenGL from the spec.
* The standard package sets for ruby and python don't include OpenGL, as
it makes the distribution harder to install.
* #55 cites a build failure as a result of the OpenGL dependency.
----
Current heuristics to act as a guide:
'' * Does it meet a stated end-user need?
* Do similar systems include such a library (e.g. Python)?
* Is it portable?
* Does it add additional C libraries?
* Does it follow the package versioning system?
* Is the code of good quality?
* Does it have history?
* Is it on hackage?
* Does it provide haddocks?
* Does it have a test suite?
* Does it have a maintainer?
* Does it require new Haskell dependencies? (invariant: the platform
must be closed wrt. deps)
* Does it have a simple/configure-based Cabal build?
* Does it conflict/compete with existing functionality?
* Does it reuse existing types?
* Does it follow the hierarchical naming conventions?
* Is it -Wall clean?
* Does it have demonstrated users?
* Have declared correctness or performance statements?
* Is it BSD licensed?
* Will the maintainer continue to maintain it, as demand grows ?''
