The intent here is to eventually add some kind of "download" target to
Buildroot for downloading & verifying container images as .tar.gz
files from container registries using the genuinetools-img tool - it
can "pull" and "save" using an unprivileged cache directory.

I'm not sure the best way to do this / if there is any appetite for
adding a pkg helper for this, thoughts?

Best regards,
Christian Stewart
