Conditionally download additional files needed for filter

Hi,

Currently the GeoGebra filter includes the jars needed to display GeoGebra files if the option "URL to geogebra.jar" is set to "3.2/4.0 from this Webserver".

There are two issues with this inclusion:
1) the zip file for the filter is currently 16MB, which is too big to upload in the "Moodle plugins Directory" (thats the main problem because I wanted to upload the filter today...)
2) its not best practice to store binaries in a git/svn/cvs repo.

So I was thinking about just downloading the jars if the Option "3.2/4.0 from this Webserver" is selected or on installation of the filter.

Can anyone tell me what the "best practice" for this would be? (Where to store the files - moodledata..., )

Cheers
Christoph
