Description:

It may be of low use for developers, but AUR users would appreciate it (actually, number of packages in AUR, such as https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/worldofgoo/ and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/anomaly/ already use this protocol). Also it can be counted as example of creative approach to using DLAGENTS array.

Proposed implementation:
It is common to build packages from the directory with PKGBUILD, so 'file::/bin/cp %u %o' should be sufficient (users can replace it with something like described at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151690 themselves)
This task depends upon
