With the ongoing outage/difficult connectivity of github we need a solution to run our builds. The current situation is that the most builds only contain the paket.bootstrapper.exe. When this fails downloading from github, like it happened the last days from time to time the build stops.
Therefore I introduced a fallback that downloads the nuget.exe and make a nuget install paket to extract the paket.exe and copy it to the desired target location.

I assume this will also fix the issue with broken builds on Travis when we hit the github API limit

No problem. It saves my life as well.
When we switch to .NET 4.5 in the future we can directly download and unzip it without using nuget.exe.

Oh. If you are interested you can try to do this. I plan to merge #732 soon, so upgrading the bootstrapper would be ok.

Have it ready. To what branch should the pr go? I saw that you have the zip branch for that.
