[OS X TeX] What's in Mac-TeX 2007 in general?

Two related questions:
a. Is there a list someplace on the web that has every little thing  
that's in the the Mac-TeX distribution?
b. Is there a place to request that this or that be added in the next  
release?

I'm in about the same situation as the previous writer, but my need  
is for latex2html.
