A small note on this: anything that's in tex/latex/base can be trusted
to be included in any LaTeX installation (newer than ~10 years, probably
;-) ). Regarding marvosym, wasysym, mnsymbol: I think they are quite
popular, but I would recommend to ship simple-text-alternatives via
\providecommand for all symbols used from these packages.

Yours
