If I was an admin and read that "Indexes" is the minimum requirement,
then I would not assume that "None" is also possible.

(Do not only think about the average user, also consider the
professional hosters that prefer to put such information into the global
configuration in /etc/apache2 if they can. They most likely would be
willing to set AllowOverride to "None" if possible.)

But do what you prefer.

OK. But then please follow Christopher's proposal to move the download
part on top of it.

Good. Still the script needs to be fixed for the next 4.3 versions. Make
sure to check this when the beta goes out...
