- Python has CheeseShop:http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi
- Ruby has RubyForge (http://rubyforge.com), which acts like CPAN
- Java, Lisp, SmallTalk, C++, Obj-C ?

I would think the result would either be a table of "problems" and
solutions like the Wiki page Ari made (I tabelized it), or a "GeoZoo",
akin to O'Reilly's CodeZoo (http://www.codezoo.com/) that lists
various Geo-specific libraries and tools in various languages. So I
can just do: "KML export in C++" or something
