It would be convenient if contributed packages were mirrored at the fvwm
site but not essential. Please *don't* include things like the tcl/tk
stuff in the main distribution because it would make it much bigger to
download.

*Do* include a list of pointers to other packages though. If people want
the other stuff we can get it so long as we know where to look.
