I like that! I can take a try at it.
* Do you want to include all of the downloaded files (87 MB), or just the
ones an R build could possibly use (55 MB)?
* edit: Currently including all
* Do you still want to be able to run `download_optional_dependencies` from
within an installed R package? If not, we can use the copy of
`download_dependencies.sh` that's in `tools/cpp/thirdparty/` (we're currently
making another copy for `inst/` so it's available at runtime).
* edit: Deleted the function and these copies of those two files
* Should we bundle cmake while we're at it? This might be convenient, but is
a bit of scope creep.
* edit: I didn't, but let me know if you think I should.
