The ideal solution would be an automatic (the client retrieves a list
and if the user wishes installs the tileset) or a semi-automatic (a
shell script with wget/lynx and tar) solution. Especially the
semi-automatic should be possible. Either it will download all or the
user selects the tilesets to download.
