Why do you need to download the zip, just include the files you
need like a regular installer.
The decision to do that predates my interest in D so I'm not sure
why the installer does that. It supports just embedding the zip
but that's never been used to my knowledge. Even better would be
to use NSIS's own archiving (which supports LZMA).
