Sounds okay, but I expect some argument over which to keep shipped by 
default :-). I assume we'd include at least these, though?

makefile, C, C++, cmake, bash, html, xml, css, doxygen*

...and probably these:
java, diff, perl

...and possibly (as I'd guess them to generate the loudest complaints):
fortran, obj-C, obj-C++, ruby, automake

(*doxygen is needed because it is used by C++, so we also need 
dependencies of any of the above. I think this also means php and 
javascript at least.)

Basically, I see keepers in two categories: most used (with admitted 
weight being given to "used in KDE development" :-) ) and most expected 
to be present, and most likely to get loud complaints if dropped.
