Idea: support installing from non-datapackage sources (at the start) #12

As a way to bootstrap this process it might be nice to support installing data from sources that don't yet provide data packages. We'd take on the work of converting this data to data packages and installing locally.

We kind of do something similar in https://github.com/okfn/datapackage-from-remote-js by reading a CKAN or DKAN resource API, and generating a data package.

@rgrp can you provide more info on your intent here?
