distribution

I need arbitrary precision rational numbers, which I'm given to understand are available in the F# powerpack. My question is about the mechanics of distribution; my program needs to be able to compile and run both on Windows/.Net and Linux/Mono at least, since I have potential users on both platforms. As I understand it, the best procedure is:

Download the powerpack .zip, not the installer.
Copy the DLL into my program directory.
Copy the accompanying license file into my program directory, to make sure everything is above board.
Declare references and go ahead and use the functions I need.
Ship the above files along with my source and binary, and since the DLL uses byte code, it will work fine on any platform.

Is this the correct procedure? Am I missing anything?

I'm using FSharp.Compiler.CodeDom to dynamically create F# classes.

How to create Python module distribution to gracefully fall-back to pure Python code

I have written a Python module, and I have two versions: a pure Python implementation and a C extension. I've written the __init__.py file so that it tries to import the C extension, and if that fails, it imports the pure Python code (is that reasonable?).
