Hmm...good point.  OK, I will fess up.  I have such a mirror that is
only for the convenience of my co-workers and myself.  It is not
distributed outside of our company.  Note that I was just trying to save
bandwidth and disk space.

If this is considered a GPL violation (and in hindsight, it probably
is), then I will update my script to download the source too.

P.S. Michael, you may want to hold up on that patch... :,)
