"""Downloads and extract the Visual C++ Redistributables.

This is useful when working with minidump files as the user may be running
with a new different version of the runtime. This script aims to maintain 
a copy of the various versions.

Versions are normally added once I encounter them.

This requires dark.exe from Wix (http://wixtoolset.org/releases/) and
expand.exe (File Expansion Utility - this comes with Microsoft Windows).
