'stealing' some wikipedia-source

so is there maybe a simpler way to retrieve
wikisources?
This is planned; see

If CD-ROM becomes outdated one maybe can use it as a
shaving-mirror
instead of a Wikipedia-mirror :-)
;) Another reason in favor of a 'smart' program that can download updates
and seamlessly jump between the versions on disc and the new updated
versions.
