Yeah, digging deeper, it seems like people have asked for this same feature.  Just stinks trying to support multiple platforms (both *nix AND windows) and multiple architectures on each.

Just for a simple jdk installation, that becomes all these if or case blocks whereas it'd be much nicer to use libraries+attributes and segregate the recipes based on platform/architecture just like the files.

Is that nuts?
