This seems fine to me. I guess the alternatives would be
1. storing the libraries in our source tree, which is a bad option for
several reasons, including licensing, file size, upgradability, etc.
2. requiring the users to install the libraries themselves using a `pip`
requirements file, but that adds another dependency on pip
I think that this is fine for now. As part of our binary release packaging
scripts, we could download and include these archives so that only users who
build from source will need to perform these downloads.
