Comment (by johnpbloch):

 Ok, I've uploaded a patch to add the custom core installer to the main
 source repo. It's under the `tools` directory, since it is technically a
 separate package. It's also in the traditional trunk/tags directory
 pattern so that the repository itself can be used by Composer (or
 Packagist). The patch also includes a tagged version of `0.1.0`.

 Currently, this package conflicts with the `composer/installers` package
 (which would be used to ensure plugins and themes end up in the correct
 place) [https://github.com/composer/installers/issues/98 because of a bug]
 in `composer/installers`, but I already have
 [https://github.com/composer/installers/pull/99 a patch submitted] to fix
 it. I anticipate that my patch will be accepted soon.

 If/when this package gets added to the repo, I think we should look into
 getting it added to the Packagist repository.
