 From the discussion in [1], I was somewhat surprised to learn that setup

For the same exact reason I've just recently patched in curl....

I'd be very interested to see that patch :)

Problems with this patch:

No progress feedback as we download.  We just get handed the whole
file by
wininet.
curl doesn't have this problem.

Although it swell a bit compare to the original installer, from 861kB to
3766kB.

I don't think that's a problem.
