(Whiteboard: [gfx-noted]) 

We already ship media DLLs out of band. We should see what they do and if it would be appropriate to ship swiftshader.

swiftshader right now is over a MB zipped so it's not something we'd want to ship to all of our users.

IIRC:
They use an add-on to distribute and update the binary and they extract the binary to disk.
