-1 on using a prepackaged combination of the dependencies.

It is only simpler locally, not globally.

That is just moving the pea, and it means there is now an external =
activity that committers must understand and someone has to maintain =
when there are updates, security patches, etc., to the dependencies.  It =
also raises provenance issues.  (I note that none of the sources have =
hashes or signatures already, or else I missed them, and they include a =
variety of .exe files.)

If we are concerned about obsolescence or inaccessibility of the =
sources, there might need to be a backup arrangement.  That might be a =
better use of Apache Extras.
