Also, it would be nice to have a .elpaignore file in your repository to
avoid bundling the bitmap images from your repository with the tarballs.

Generally speaking, how tightly integrated is this into consult, and can
you imaging generalising this for all users?  Having a dependency on a
UI component seems like a backwards thing to do.
