It could be nice to have ryan's script in there, however we don't necessarily know where the output file will get stashed. That'd be a bit more tricky, I think. And of course, convincing novices on piping or specifying the file input so they can be reinstalled... it's best to leave that on the site I think, unless we can make it a pretty rigid environment so the file is always stored at a set location.
