Hi Bernd,

A list wouldn't be bad but it has to consider many optional libraries 
i.e. for pdf-, office-, etc. that are possible or required for some 
extensions.
Nevertheless the case is easy:
A ship can't be parked in a garage for cars. Your customer has to accept 
that you are unable to change requirements. Perhaps he should change to 
wordpress or something else.

Best regards
