Another effect of the Allan's current implementation is that adding another scheme requires modification to makepkg, event if it is just to pass it to DLAGENTS. I'd argue that even if we have the special cases, the correct behavior would be to have download_file (DLAGENTS) as a fallback, instead of only tripping on 'ftp|http|https|rsync|scp'.

Fix on its way.

Further, a use case I see is a user putting some funky stuff in DLAGENTS to either use an offline cache, or do some network stuff to deal with a contrived network setup.

This is the only thing I think needs dealt with... maybe... Can you give a concrete example? Thanks, Allan
