This provides a great spring-board -- thanks Liane!

My initial thought is that not all the items seem to fall in the 
cateogory of common source repository requirements; some seem to be 
build-system requirements. (On the other hand, the problem could be that 
my notion of what a source repository is is way too narrow...)
