Package manager will download and upgrade the dependency if needed.

Bundle the exporters in to say org-extras*.tar or org-devel-*.tar and
then have that package depend on the right version of org-*.tar.

We can provide different URLs for gnu and non-gnu packages.  So that
users will know what to test with more rigour.
