Thanks, Lucas. That will definitely lower the barrier to upgrading to
the latest version of their drivers periodically.

I have a question: does this represent a change in policy that Recipes
can now be used to download and install binary-only apps? Despite the
"shim" compilation step, Nvidia seems like essentially a binary
download to me...

I think it's a fine solution when the source is not available and the
binaries may not be redistributed in a repackaged form, but I thought
it had been shot down in the past, and I wanted to see if a Recipe for
e.g. Adobe Reader was now possible as long as any relevant license
screens are displayed.
