A few years ago, I demoed how to convert a "curl | bash" to an rpm.

Might be time to add this to fpm?

I think the rough steps are:

1. Generate a simple docker file
2. docker build ... it
3. docker save the result
4. Cherry-pick the latest layer (it's a tarfile) in the docker save
5. Convert the tar to whatever format.

It's possible other tools might work for this as well, instead of docker, but we can start with docker.
