It's only that these also require some compilation at least in the case of
the DBI .. having a primary set bundled and any updated versions of the
modules on pudge.net/mmp/ means that more people will have the basic
functionality there to explore if they desire which could also lead to more
usage/interest.
That, and I really need these to do what I'm currently doing, thus the wait
would slay me :)
