That's an idea. A simple shar(1) archive could probably work too:
flame:/home/keramida$ shar .forward
# This is a shell archive. Save it in a file, remove anything before
# this line, and then unpack it by entering "sh file". Note, it may
# create directories; files and directories will be owned by you and
# have default permissions.
#
# This archive contains:
#
# .forward
#
echo x - .forward
sed 's/^X//' >.forward << 'END-of-.forward'
X|/usr/local/bin/procmail
END-of-.forward
exit
