does libhttpseverywhere have to have a 7MB uncompressed file of rules in the files dir?

[Joshua Root]

It does seem like that really ought to be a distfile. Going by the
comment, it is a newer upstream version of the file. Surely it must be
available for download from somewhere. Worst case, it can be hosted on
GitHub in a separate repo.
