I think, we can rethink the checkout command. For now it is:

    checkout [RECIPE|SWEET [PATH]]
        register PATH as a valid RECIPE|SWEET's implementation

but originally idea was to exactly getting the source of a sweet, ie:

    sweets checkout dextrose/sugar

should get (somehow) dextrose/sugar sources to place it to he local fs
(and after that, register it). So, it migh be

    sweets checkout XO_FILE [DST_PATH]

and XO_FILE will be unzipped to DST_PATH (to ~/Activities by default) and
registered (when Sweets will have a GUI to run activities) as an
implementation for the sweet it implements.
