I have to disagree with bowerbird and agree with tedd on this one.  While
bowerbird's suggestions are excellent, my motto has always been "a jack of
all trades is a master of none."  Modularizing a huge assortment of tools
would inherently make them weaker, insecure, and unstable.  I think a
better approach would be to have several small apps devoted to certain
tasks, perhaps bound by a master ap, sort of like Norton Utils.

It's better when you're alone because nobody knows you.
It's better when you have no friends because nobody leaves you.
