Actually, a tool that's most of this smartly, it's called jigdo, and
_nobody uses it_. Even projects that do all the setup work and
document how end users can use it see little or no usage.

It has a commandline. A GUI. Works on Windows. Fetches only the
updates. Delivers fluffy bunnies.

And almost nobody uses it :-p
