These are my current thoughts on this:

* Preferably, the language development tools and environment are open source, 
so there's no impediment to anyone building from source.

* The total size of included libraries should be reasonable, so it doesn't 
excessively push up the size of the Windows self-installing exe.

Having said that, I'm certainly going to be pragmatic here -- if someone puts 
together a great GUI agent that requires Visual C++ to build, I'm not going 
to belabor the point.

On the other hand if it's written in Visual Basic and increases the Windows 
package size by 10 MB then I'm going to have to think twice about actually 
bundling it.  But if it's up to standard, I'd still link to it from the 
website in a heartbeat.
