As a related matter, Umfpack has an optional dependency on Cholmod which is
almost all of SuiteSparse. I never implemented --download-cholmod because
it's more difficult to install than building all of SuiteSparse. Would it
be reasonable for the --download stuff to always build all of SuiteSparse?
We can still support linking to the user-provided umfpack/cholmod/amd
independently from all of SuiteSparse.

Matt, how would you implement meta-packages in BuildSystem?
