Personally I don't think we should be automatically installing  
language X just because an RA is written in that language.
We include all sorts of wonderful RAs including postgres, db2 and  
mysql but clearly we shouldn't be installing 3 different databases  
just because we have an RA for them.
IMHO, languages for non-core RAs (ie. not FileSystem, IPaddr,...)  
should be handled the same way.
