It will help with implementing #30505/#32919/#40438, which is a personal
itch (running a triple-boot system on a 2GB harddisk) and has some (minor)
use even on its own, so I thought I'd file a wishlist bug so the special
requirements of those three bugs get recognized if someone picks up the
"Download hooks" idea.
