Like "apt install..."? I'd prefer _not_ to include more binaries in LMS. 
Windows, ok, that's a problem. But for Linux, if it can easily be 
installed using the OS' tools, then I'd try to avoid them. As you'll 
know we'd have to compile for X platforms * Y Perl versions.

I'm actually particularly reluctant to include crypto related packages. 
I've had bad experiences in the past trying to cross compile 
IO::Socket::SSl and related libraries... What has been your experience 
including CryptX in your plugins? Did you have to update often?
