A thought about the list below.  We currently request packages for the Windows 
Installer on WIki.  [http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?WindowsInstaller]  
Perhaps we could salvage this page to build a new list of modules accepted 
for the standard library.  I'm thinking something like:

* REXML [S-2.4.5] [D-2.5.3] [WS-2.4.1] [WD-2.4.1]

The bracketed entries represent acceptance of a module into a distribution, 
along with the version included in that version.  S=Ruby stable. D=Ruby dev. 
W=Windows Installer.

Might be too much work, might be YAGNI, but could be very helpful in tracking 
a package's appearance in the various distributions.  If I wanted to use 
open-uri in a public project, I'd definitely want to know what distributions 
included it.
