That statement is my fault :-)

I would like to be able to keep a list of packages known to build on
each platform, but I don't think this file is not the place to do it.
My intent with that was to add "interesting" packages, eg. those which
are popular and also which may have platform-specific requirements.
Packages which are unlikely to cause problems shouldn't be added,
imho.

I would like to avoid adding perl modules, since they should work
almost everywhere... If particular modules are known to be
"difficult", they may be worth adding if they are "interesting"
enough.

Does that help?

grant.
