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.
