I imagine bro-pkg could still use its bundling system for when the Bro nodes 
have limited network/compiler functionality.  E.g package management and 
building occurs on a dedicated host that does have network/compiler access and 
then a bundle file can be copied over to the Bro nodes to reproduce the desired 
package ecosystem.
