Weird timing: I added a live ebuild for this program to my personal
overlay[1] yesterday. I'm not sure what your opinion on live ebuilds
in the tree happens to be, but I would be happy to move it to gx86.

I was working on a script to auto-update the ebuild to the latest
release yesterday. Obviously, it has enough people interested in it!

While no tarballs are ever released, they suggest that you do the
following to pull the latest release:

wget --quiet http://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/raw/master/LATEST_VERSION
PV=`cat LATEST_VERSION`
SRC_URI="http://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/raw/${PV}/youtube-dl"

but I drew a blank as to how to integrate that into an ebuild without
some hackery.
