Should be able to do this:

brew cask install http://example.com/path/to/my-cask.rb

It should work just like Homebrew, so maybe we can borrow code from them. This will make it easier to share casks before they're merged.

I would add that, like homebrew, one should be able to use custom formulae that reside on one's own machine, like so:

cd mycustomcaskage
brew cask install ./foo.rb

More generally, brew cask install file:///blah/blah/blah/foo.rb

I want to take a crack at this issue. The immediate question I have is: If a user specifies a cask from an alternate location such as a specific local path or url should I save the cask to a local per user or per computer location for ease of uninstall later and to allow listing of installed casks?

Without categorically addressing the question of whether to do this or not (I vote yea), it should be per computer to keep with Homebrew's general UX.
