Comment (by igloo):

 I don't think we should bundle it. It's the sort of thing where more
 obscure platforms need the latest version, and we don't another thing we
 have to make sure we keep up-to-date. Also, for the common case (including
 Windows users) it isn't necessary to have it, as the existing code can be
 used instead.
