We need to limit the interface that is exposed to the downloader in
order to make future changes easier.
This will be important for work on new features, such as selecting
a mirror from the command line.
In the future, the existing Resource class will probably be split into
multiple classes.
How-to-use-keg-only-outside-of-brew:
* A new piece of documentation detailing how to deal with using
keg_only formula outside of Brew itself. We’ve had a lot of questions
and issues about this recently, and the solutions aren’t as easy and
explicit to find elsewhere, so detailing it here may help reduce some
of the questions we’ve seen recently.
* I possibly whinged too much in the second section. I’m open to
criticism and being called whiny.
* Details flags, prepending the $PATH, and dealing with pkg-config.

More proposed documentation updates.
Acceptable Formulae:
* Adds Perl to the list of stuff we offer Dupes of in the Core.
* Notes that OS X’s OpenSSL is usually horribly outdated.
* Removes the incorrect space between font and forge.
Common Issues:
* We said three issues, we listed four. Oops.
External Commands:
* The cache is usually at /Library rather than ~/Library, and the rest
of the documentation says /Library, so this makes the referencing
consistent.
FAQ:
* Adds a tiny section on pinning formulae.
Interesting-Taps-And-Branches:
* Notes gaming-emulation software belongs in Homebrew/Games as well.
* nolith/Embedded hasn’t been touched for 28 months. I’ve cut it.
* anarchivist/forensics hasn’t been touched for 35 months. I’ve cut it.
* codebutler’s GTK+ experiment seems to have been terminated after one
commit. I’ve cut it.
* paxam/linux hasn’t been touched for 34 months. I’ve cut it.
* rmyers/homebrew hasn’t been touched in 42 months. I’ve cut it.
* nddrylliog/winbrew has moved, I’ve changed the URL to the new one.
Winbrew.md:
* Removed. It’s referenced in the prior file, and doesn’t really need
its own.

We don't want to do so when building bottles or we can end up with some weird stuff being bottled unintentionally (and it'll run twice; once before bottling, once afterwards).
