the reported size of the Windows installer is 29M, vs. about 47 or 48 M for other platforms.  I see that this was true of the 5.0 release as well, so this is probably expected, but I'm curious: why is this? Is it just that the other platforms are distributed uncompressed and rely upon dynamic compression?
