Registered by

in addition to specifying a local tarball, the sandbox should also allow a remote one, to be specified with a URL. Need to figure out how to cope with the MySQL mirror selection system

Problems with this task:
* Parsing MySQL download URLs, which include a redirect path for a mirror
* Identifying the right binary for current OS
* Which application/module to be used for downloading (curl, wget, Perl LWP)
* Where to download the binaries
* How to determine if there is already an up to date local copy of the chosen binary
