When I've gone through and clicked my custom set of checkboxes, and entered my custom set of CSS values, what happens when I want to update to Bootstrap 2.0.1, or if I want to redownload it because I lost the original?

What I'd like is a URL, ideally embedded in the downloaded zip as well as displayed on the webpage, that pre-selects and pre-enters the same values.

What I'm thinking for implementation is, use some reversible hashing algorithm on $('form').serialize() - maybe gzip with zip.js or something - and add that on the URL with a query param (not as part of the URL fragment, please). Then, even better, allow me to pass that query param directly to a download link so I can wget (as part of a build script or something) the updated zip file!
