+.SS What is this binary file? Where has the code gone?
+.PP
+Since June 2012 (#342) youtube-dl is packed as an executable zipfile,
+simply unzip it (might need renaming to \f[C]youtube-dl.zip\f[] first on
+some systems) or clone the git repo to see the code.
+If you modify the code, you can run it by executing the
+\f[C]__main__.py\f[] file.
+To recompile the executable, run \f[C]make\ compile\f[].
+.SS The exe throws a \f[I]Runtime error from Visual C++\f[]
+.PP
+To run the exe you need to install first the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008
+Redistributable
+Package (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29).
