I know there is probably a mod for this, but I'm not saying that this is something I'm begging for. In fact, I couldn't care less if this suggestion is never noticed at all. But, in my wandering about the forums and wiki, I believe I have come up with a viable crafting recipe if ever there were to be one.
There are several steps to the process of building a spawner, so I will break it down:
1. As an addition to the rare drops, a spawn egg should have a small chance of being dropped when any mob is killed by the player. This provides the seed from which the endless mobs will spring forth.
2. Find a village and procure a bottle o' enchanting. The magical power contained within will give the mobs life. In addition, its energy causes an activated spawner to emit flames.
3. Using iron bars, contain the two other items, fusing the energy with the seed to create the things of nightmares or the friends of man.
B = Iron bars
E= Bottle o' Enchanting
S = Spawn egg
BBB
BSB
BEB
So, what do you think?
And what could happen if that spawn egg is replaced with the Dragon Egg?
Only thing I don't like is the ability to spawn an infinite number of said mob with the egg. Infinity would be a benefit for making a spawner.
An infinite number in a single location. Once it's broken, you have to start all over again. Although, I admit, it isn't incredibly difficult to make; I was contemplating including an Ender Eye or Enderchest above the spawn egg, as the portal from which the mobs spring forth. This was only my first draft, so to speak.
I think if a spawner is to be craftable, it should be incredibly difficult to do, enough that people would still consider the spawn pad method first, and finding an spawn egg is considered a lucky feat.

Now that's an expensive recipe.
Maybe it's how you summon the red dragon?
