+1 for an exception to be granted. Do we need to explicitly ask for this? Or 
just wait until release time?

The gradle wrapper concept is so common-place in the groovy world that not 
including it would be a major inconvenience to the intended target audience.

Yes the problem is how to download something in a generic way, that is, how
to do this without having curl, or wget, or ??? under Windows. That's what
the Gradle Wrapper takes care of. And honestly, I think Apache should make
an exception of it.

the script that downloads the script to download the wrapper? :)


writing a shell script that dowloads the wrapper could be fun... in a
crazy way ;) At least if it is supposed to work on Linux and Windows
