The ultimate solution here might be to bundle these in a 'downstream' distribution which uses OpenSim as a base and targets a particular use case (e.g. new users). OpenSim itself is already very difficult to maintain and doesn't have the ultimate goal of being an out-of-the-box project. Our current situation is something of a compromise.

Folks, can I open a discussion on this... a lot of people have issues with a few 
"key" modules that pretty much anyone
using OpenSim need sort is likely to want. If there are out of the box 
solutions (even very basic ones) for these
included in te distruibuition and checked as working with each checkpoint 
released, it would make OpenSim MUCH MUCH
easier to configure and use. Then the more sophisticated and optional variants 
could be introduced for those with the
skill. Keeping some of these modules outside the standard distribution is just 
making life awkward for many.

I suggest the key modules at least are:

groups (use flotsam as default)
offline IM (use flotsam as default)
profile (use osprofile)
basic avatar registration and admin (suggest to use Diva Wifi)
voice (mumble when its working, freeswitch for now?)
others?
