"concurrent" downloads are salvagable by the way if I can implement
libcurl_multi, its an interface meant to allow concurrent downloading
in one thread (because there's zero reason you can't open and download
multiple sockets like such as your OS buffers data anyway) and it's
meant to workaround thread-safety issues. It also has performance
benefits like having shared DNS cached.

Only problem is that involves doing all the downloads in one setup job
structure in github_plugin. Problem is right now the upper level
enumerates and calls the matching plugin per library. This makes
things....awkward to fix. i.e. upper level would need to be given
logic to queue a list of libraries if plugin is of type XYZ
