JavaFX runtime redistribution

[Josh Marinacci]

For the time being I'm working on instructions and a script that will require the dev to download the SDK zips to a common directory first. It would be insanely awesome of Oracle would set up their own Maven repo for this, especially since JavaFX is planned to be open source.   

BTW: to the Maven haters (which includes myself), we can use Maven repos without using Maven. Think of it as the Debian archive system of the Java world.

A maven repo is really just like a file/FTP server and very similar to your zip files above.
