The theme is currently (as of 02-Mar-2007) listed halfway down the page on the right and gives you the black frames from a proper Microsoft installer MSI file (XP SP2 required).

I slipstreamed the modified uxtheme.dll into my Windows installation and have had no issues at all - I really really wouldn't worry about it.
