Where can I get the getfileversion package?

Question

At the urls given in

I cannot find the getfileversion package. (Using a popular search engine did not help either.) Where (and why) is the package hiding?

The first time I tried I found it: just google for tex latex getfileversion and it will be on the top of your list.
Somewhere on the top of my list is ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/getfileversion.html. It's at number three in my case....
@MarcvanDongen: Yes, but all links there to the actual files are just dead. That is probably because it is now named latexfileversion, as noted in an answer.

The README for latexfileversion says:

Before version 0.3, this tool used to be named getfileversion.

Unless you need the old version for some reason, this is what you’re looking for.

	No readme but at the beginning of the script you have a little description. – Alain Matthes Feb 13 '12 at 19:09
	IP of a site but it's strange that getfileversion is not on a ctan server. – Alain Matthes Feb 13 '12 at 20:35
	"The connection has timed out The server at 200.144.190.125 is taking too long to respond." – Stephen Aug 29 '12 at 10:02
