Should this be something that is served on kicad-pcb.org/downloads ? I am
concerned that we might run into GitHub TOS issues.

I am working on generating the 3D models for download. However this
generates lots of data (multiple gigabytes). It also takes over 1hr for
Travis to build, which exceeds the allowable Travis script runtime.
