does that particular "code" have to be altered before it's compiled and THEN
put the binaries in to the repack ?
Or is this a case where "someone else" downloads the repack, and then alters
something else, other than the source code AFTER they download it ?
Because if this so-called "alteration" has to be done in the source code before
it is compiled, but the the repack comes already compiled ????
I'm just trying to understand this a little more.
I just thought if someone had to alter the source code for this "hack" to
happen, wouldn't they just download the source from svn and go from there ?

But obviously, I assume that if someone downloaded the repack and after being
caught with this alteration, that the repack was also downloaded, by the admin(s)
and tested, when they were first made of aware of the little hack.
