I won't do it now, but maybe in 3.0.4 or later we need to 
decide on whether we want to start pulling in more 
include files into euphoria\include or some standard place. 
Maybe ones where:
  1. The author says it's ok (In this case that is true)

  2. The file has been used and recommended by multiple people
     (besides the author)

  3. Someone is willing to clearly document the file.
     (in this case things are documented in an informal way)
     I don't know if we need to have docs in some
     official library format, but things should be 
     documented in some clear and maybe semi-formal way.

People have put forth grand plans for creating carefully 
thought out standard libraries. Maybe we just need to pull in
some of the most useful include files that we already have.
Trying to do things perfectly can lead to rigor mortis.
Maybe we can have a subdirectory containing a bunch of useful
files that are somewhat informally thrown together, and not
forced to follow any rigid standards. An overview document
could summarize what they all are.
