But the fonts are available at http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ :

"# 020815 Microsoft pulls their fonts from their site. Fortunately, accor=
ding=20
to the End User License Agreement and the faq I have the right to=20
redistribute the fonts in unaltered form. This right I intend to exercise=
=2E"

I think, that there is no problem to have a package for the corefonts, wh=
ich=20
downloads the fonts from corefonts.sourceforge.net.
