These have issues with making them available from US sites to non-US
residents.

    Nathan> GD (need the C library)

These have patent issues in the US, at least till sometime next year
(whenever the Unisys LZW patent expires).

    Nathan> DB (need the C library)
    Nathan> GDBM (need the C library)

These may have licencing issues (GDBM does, I'm not sure about DB).

    Nathan> Term::ReadLine::GNU

This needs a C library, and therefore has licencing issues.

    Nathan> cgi-lib.pl

Ick! Please, no.

Also, there's quite a bit of duplication and modules that more easily
designated by the bundles they already come in, e.g. bundle::LWP &
bundle::libnet.  I presume we could just consider the complete bundle
instead?
