What is the right way to bundle native modules?

If I'm not able to import a native module with the built-in "import" keyword, what is the ideal way to download and cache them? Should I be fetching it? How should I be caching it locally? Should I make an "install" script? What are the general techniques, does anyone have any examples?

Like in this example: https://deno.com/manual@v1.34.3/runtime/ffi_api Suppose the binaries are all pre-built and available for download. How would you recommend "installing" these or pulling them down before runtime?

As of Deno 1.13 and later, the FFI (foreign function interface) API allows users to call libraries written in native languages that support the C ABIs (C/C++, Rust, Zig, V, etc.) using Deno.dlopen.

many ffi modules use plug: https://deno.land/x/plug but it fetches at runtime currently there’s no realistic way to install before runtime
