Probably a script that copies them from a Windows installation on the 
same system (or creates symlinks) would be fine though. I can't see 
Microsoft stopping me from running properly licenced Windows software on 
Linux. They wouldn't support it, but I've not yet discovered where to go 
for Microsoft support anyway so that doesn't concern me.
