3. SQLite is awesome.
4. libxml.
5. Mono
6. Monodevelop
7. Eclipse IDE
8. Apache HTTP Server and APR, and all Apache top-levels
9. GLib

CodeCogs is great for scientific, mathematical, and engineering applications:

#include <codecogs/stats/moments/kurtosis.h>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
  float x[5] = {3.4 , 7.1 , 1.5 , 8.6 , 4.9};
  double kurt = Stats::Moments::kurtosis<float>(5, x);
  // "Population kurtosis is: -0.928457"
  std::cout << "Population kurtosis is: " << kurt << std::endl;
  return 0;
}
