Hello Maven Friends.

I have been thinking about the problem of when a dependency can't be
found in the local or remote repo.  Why can't we just make it so it asks
the user where it is on the file system?  Then it copies it in.  For a
newbie using Maven I don't like the idea of them having to copy it in,
with the right structure themselves.  So maybe it could work like this:

Attempting to download mail.jar form ibiblio.org

mail.jar could not be found, if you would like to load it from your
local files system, enter it's path (Or hit enter to continue)
mail.jar location > (user enters file location here)

Maven check it's there and then copies it into the local repo.

Just an idea.  Let me know what you all think.
