BTW, I don't think it should be limited to just passing a
url to the helper program.

I'd do it something like this:

dget module.name url_from_pragma


Basically, the compiler shouldn't withhold info - tell the
get program everything it might need, to keep it's options open
in how to do it's job.

If a url isn't given, the dget program is free to figure it out
by some alternative means if it can, given the module name.
