The main reason for including shapelib by default is so we can have a
shapelib-based map come up right from the very start.  Think about how
many times we've had someone come on list after their initial
installation, saying they have this great big grey screen with some
blue lines and nothing else?  Now, we can have a shapefile map of the
world appear.  Just one more step on the road.

A lot of the "extras" may not be able to be included as part of the
download - license incompatibilities play a big part in just what we
can include.

Your original post did come across in a bad way, at least to me.
Thanks for apologizing.
