I would be really averse to this solution, because the first two
downloads of this file I tried were flagged as viruses (or were
distributed as installer programs so flagged), and the alternative is
only small number of lines of extra code. Of course, I possess a proper
copy of this file, but that fact is of no assistance to the next person.
