There is just a single standard library. I don't know how many times I 
have to say this: "Tango is just another third party library".

And as long as you don't compile DStep yourself you don't even have to 
know it uses Tango.

In my opinion:

* Argument parsing
* XML package
* Net package (not any external dependencies)
* Zip package
* I think it has more collections
* Logging

Yes, but you can use just what you want. As I said, I'm only using the 
argument parsing from Tango.
