Does anyone here think that it is a bad idea to eliminate the huge ZIP file which is currently used to distribute the complete GraphicsMagick sources for Windows (GraphicsMagick + delegates)? We are now distributing the sources in both 7-Zip and ZIP format. The file size difference is huge: ZIP 24,853,145 (24MB) 7-Zip 13,283,378 (13MB) The huge file results in long download times. It seems that the main drawback is that Windows users would need to download 7-Zip in order to use this source package.
