@revans2 I couldn't get the maven dependency plugin to do what I wanted, so
I changed tactics. I switched to using the maven antrun plugin to download and
unpack the sigar native binaries. It downloads the archive to the local maven
repository alongside the other sigar dependencies so it only needs to download
it once.
The good news is that allowed me to use the full binary archive, so it
includes support for windows and other OSes/architectures. On the down side
it's somewhat brittle compared to using "pure" maven, and IMO is kind of ugly.
It's also hard-coded to use google code, which is supposedly going away at some
point, but that's the only place I could find the archive with a published
checksum.
