 Github projects, when tagged via `git tag`, get automatically packaged
 (see project page / releases), and the URL has a standardized form, as
 well as the tarball. So, it would be most convenient if a project like
 patchbot that adheres to the SPKG directory structure could be installed
 by just saying
 {{{
 sage -i https://github.com/robertwb/sage-patchbot/archive/2.1.1.tar.gz
 }}}
 Sage would then take the `PACKAGE_NAME` from `SPKG.txt`, or it could be
 given as optional argument to `sage -i`.
