I was all about to advocate my favorite extensions until I read this. It
makes a lot of sense. If build scripts can pull syntax extensions like
libraries, and directly from the web, there is no reason to have a set
of "standard extensions".
Everyone can just use what they like, and distribute the source in that
fashion. The makefile (or whatever build script) takes care of the rest.
