Cool.  It looks like we wouldn't be able to distribute them, even as an
optional package (
https://registrationcenter.intel.com/en/forms/?productid=2558&licensetype=2
specifies a "Named-User License" for example).  But figuring out how to
link to them and writing documentation for doing so seems worthwhile,
though I don't have any insight into how hard it would be.
