I don't recall hearing that call go out, but here's a few ideas...
1) tcsh (*thwap* no bash! tcsh dammit!)
2) ssh
3) cvsup
if(X) {
4) xlock
5) xv
6) lesstif
7) ctwm (need them virtual desktops)
8) bgrot! (*cheer*)
}
9) Linux compat libs
Other high-prio stuff:
- Mail client (elm, pine, mutt, [[e]x]mh...)
- Compressers ([un]zip, bzip2...)
Other things such as various libraries/toolkits, gmake, etc, also get
installed as necessary for prereqs.
