I had forgotten about them -- thanks for pointing them out. Fortunately, those are both mainstream widely mature packages -- note that both cliquer and ratpoints are highly specialized with (probably) one developer. In contrast PIL is the standard Python imaging library and glpk the standard GPL'd linear programming library. So that helps. But this time, let's be very careful about how these actually get included in Sage. Who is actually doing the work to include either of these? I think ncohen is working on glpk (?). I don't know who is working on PIL. I know who proposed it, but not if anybody is doing the actual work.
