How to say this ...

deja vu?

is there a way to make dia more inclusive, to make it obvious that these
programs are essentially part of dia too?  and as a result focus new
people to use what is available and avoid the NIH Syndrome (not invented
here).   Do distributions ship Dia with these valuable add-ons? if not why
not?

Is there a package available with Dia and all the bells and whistles
(xslt, autodia, tediasql, etc) in a fairly easy to install static build?

Just trying to think about community building and distribution issues
which often cross my mind.  I know the traditionalists dont like big fat
binaries and like nicely sorted dependencies or small downloads but for me
ease of installation is more important for me.
Yet another suggestion
