That would be very nice. Maybe a special recipe type? And a
Resources/LICENSE file... And then the pre/post_install hooks can be
used to set things up so it works as it should in gobolinux.

This would be useful for many binary-only packages: firefox,
thunderbird, openoffice, realplayer, flashplayer, google-earth, etc...

And there should not be any legal issues since we don't distribute the
binaries, only a plain-text recipe of how to download and install them,
right?
