OK, I get it now.  Is there a reason we can’t or shouldn't extract to the
file system?  Are there other alternatives like making sure the Closure
jar is downloaded to a known location and/or has a particular name?

I would prefer to not have Apache Flex releases use code with licenses
that have “bad” words in it, which appears to be the case for the
https://code.google.com/p/reflections/ library.  I would not like the
Installer to have to offer up those bad words for approval by the
customer.  And, if we decide to bundle that jar some day, our LICENSE file
will have to have those same bad words in it.
