 * Dear users,
 * This is with regrets that I saw this plugin removed from WordPress’ repository.
 * WordPress has flagged this plugin as going against their plugin guidelines:
 * > Executing outside code within a plugin when not acting as a service is not 
   > allowed, for example:
    - Serving updates or otherwise installing plugins, themes, or add-ons from servers
      other than WordPress.org’s
 * While I am not sure when this section was added to the documentation, it is merely
   a guidelines issue, not a security strike – after all, WPPUS was accepted and
   was available on wordpress.org for as long as 10 months.
 * Regards,
