I agree, it would be a good idea if the download page mentioned what
comes with the main distribution.  Looking at the page, you might think
there was not any plPerl available :-(

If we handle it that way, then in the Application Programming Interfaces
section we should say "The core distribution includes a C library (libpq)
and an embedded C environment (ecpg)" (not sure that's the best way to
describe ecpg).  The Server-side Procedural Languages list should mention
that plpgsql, pltcl, plperl, and plpython come with the core.

Also it seems like there are several more gborg/pgfoundry projects that
belong in these lists --- certainly at least libpqxx for C++.
