This is a bit confusing!! Why are you touching download here? We now have
download.in so
why not include your comments in that file - job done once.

which populates download with Symbol-Slanted.

Yes, its the bit I added in the commit before yours. I don't mind if it gets
run when
BuildFoundries is built or when it is run, but we don't want the echos.
