Yes indeed, we don't want to put 4MB of this stuff in the repository, but it'd
be great if it could be installed elsewhere on the user's system and then called
by these bundle commands, appropriately added to the javascript bundle.

PS: Incidentally, I'm in general in favor of merging some of the smaller bundles
that really belong together, and doing some other renaming to keep things better
organized, more consistent, and clearer for users:

  * There's no reason for Django to have 2 bundles.
    Also, maybe call this "Python -- Django" ?
  * OCamlCodeCompletion being 3 bundles is ridiculous.
    Even one is pushing it, given that the concept is
    a drastic misuse of snippets for a problem domain
    they aren't suited to, but 3 is definitely overkill.
  * JQuery should be renamed "Javascript JQuery" to
    match the YUI and Prototype bundles
  * "Tricks" and "Experimental" bundles seem to have
    an overlapping mission
  * "Template toolkit" should maybe be called "HTML --
    template toolkit" so that people have an idea what
    it is?
  * Not sure "web searches" really deserves its own
    bundle.  Why can't it go under the "TextMate"
    bundle or similar.
  * should SWeave maybe be called "R -- Sweave"?
  * I still kinda think 3 GTD bundles is too much
  * Can we just get rid of Active4D altogether,
    as something that's only used by one guy?
    (and take that theme out of the repository,
    too?)
  * Change "MIPS" to "Assembler", and then people
    can put other assembly language syntaxes in
    the same bundle?

Not all of the above are necessarily the best ideas.
Feel free to dispute any of them.
