Download raw body.

This part of the readme also doesn't seem to be correct anymore; there's
no file named openomf.bf. Is running from "any directory that holds the
game assets" still possible?

   "Alternatively, the game can be launched from any directory that holds
    the game assets. If you choose this route, the file
    /usr/local/share/openomf/openomf.bf must be copied to this
    directory before launching the game."

If the game is really freeware like the readme claims, then an
additional port that downloads it and places everything in the right
places would be helpful for users.
