Hi

Is this really needed? I look at the webpages when importing stuff.

For npm Julien and I created a special tool to do the job of fetching
the dependencies. 

You could easily roll-your-own and change (call-with-temporary-output...
-> (call-with-output-file ...)

As it is only Hartmut who asked for this during 2 years of everyone
using the importer I vote for closing this as "won't fix".
