Here is a list I compiled by hand a while back from a directory
of prep.ai.mit.edu.  I just now dusted it off, updated the
version numbers, and added some new programs.

Hopefully it should give you an idea of what GNU has to offer so
far.  You'll notice that it doesn't contain any manuals or other
miscellaneous items, and that I don't have descriptions for
everything.
