A not-so-minimal db

In the process of porting Anomaly Jobs to work on PennMUSH, I've found myself with a PennMUSH 1.8.3 database that is:

* A minimal db, plus
* A wizard added names Tools, who owns
* Myrddin's bboard 4.06, Myrddin's cron 1.00, and Anomaly Jobs (pre 5.2), installed in the master room

I'd be happy to provide this on a web site to folks starting out new MUSHes who want a set of standard tools in their database from the outset.

1. Does that seem useful?

2. Are there any other widely used systems that ought to be considered for preinstallation like this?
