We have a GPAW-setups module that GPAW pulls in that contains the files from https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/gpaw-files
So yes, going for a module (based in Core if using HMNS) is good, and always including it makes it easier for the users. Judging from the version number you're aiming for, it might be the same thing. But do NOT take "latest.tar.gz", use a specific version so users can know which version it really is.
