If you look at the feature.xml file of different features, you can
figure out what contains what.  A feature can contain plugins, or
other features.  The org.eclipse.cdt-feature is the default set
of features delivered with CDT.  If you want to include optional
features, you have to select them manually.  For example, 

org.eclipse.cdt.launch.remote-feature for remote launches using RSE
org.eclipse.cdt.gnu.multicorevisualizer-feature for the Mutlicore Visualizer
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.ui.memory-feature for the Memory Browswer, and the
traditional memory rendering.
