Sort of related to this is that it would be nice in general to be able
just to "drop in" the modules: now there are all sorts of bits and
pieces that are in the CPAN distributions, ChangeLogs, READMES, and
the like, that are not included in the core version of the same.
Maybe the correct way to do this would be to have some sort of
'corefier' script that takes a CPAN module and does the right magic
to integrate the module to the core?
