I posted to the other thread before I see this. I have never checked
and didn't know that they come with the update. But I guess the better
approach will be to have a script which precompiles them, as there is
no way to know which version of the driver the user has. It looks like
that nVidia break every other version :(, so from time to time the
user should be free to downgrade the driver, or to upgrade if
something nice (huh) happen. Just 2c
