I will include all the latest versions of all the bundled modules (stuff in
bundled_ext and bundled_lib in CVS) for the final release, and will test
them before I include them.  So whatever the latest LWP is will likely be
included.

What might also be cool -- I haven't tested it yet -- is that you might be
able to use the Web Installer to update your modules.  So I could say
"there's a new version of these modules, run the Web Installer and get the
new files" and it'll Just Work.

This also leaves open the opportunity to split the Library installation
option into various groups, e.g. Perl Standard Library, MacPerl Modules,
Bundled Modules.  I don't know how much people care though; and, of course,
there is some cross-dependency between the groups (e.g., Mac::MoreFiles
required for File::Copy).
