I'd like people to explicitly know that they're building something
non-free and non-distributeable. At least the vmware-player itself
requires an EULA before download is allowed. vmware-any-any is freely
available for download, yes.

My goal is to have the files properly registered with the packaging
system. Automating things is a side-effect of that.
