far as I know it's not "bundled", certainly not in hoary that I've been 
using.  You can get it from repositories though, so almost as good as 
being bundled.  Those .18.1 repository builds were reported as broke for 
breezy though, so not really bundled at all.  Maybe they're fixed now, 
or maybe the guy who started the thread compiled the .18.1 source.
