I definitely want to add this feature.  However, the implementation is 
overly complicated; only one upload client need be supported, which 
should then be added to requires:.  (Yes, I'm aware that downloading 
handles wget or curl, but that is legacy code and the same should apply 
there.)  The pkg_name for loops are also incorrect wrt subpackages.

Merged, with a note in the documentation wrt portability.

If all you want to do is copy files to $S during unpacking, just add 
them to SRC_URI.
