there are many things that MDK wont install by 'default', it depends on
what kind of installation you did to start with.  even then, it'll still
fail to install certain packages.

there's been some discussion on the mdk.cooker list about if they should
have an 'all' option, and precisely what should be included in an 'all'
option.
