Bzzzt.  Already done.  Yaha sends zipped copies of itself, neatly taking
advantage of the "feature" in Windows XP that "understands" what a zip
file is and automatically asks you if you'd like to extract the
contents, which it will then execute automatically.  (Another sign of
brain dead-ness in Redmond.)
