Repackaged upstream sourcez2(41mb) vs the dfsg.orig.tar.bz(39mb) which is 2mb(5%) less. I had a question about it, the dll's files and the exe file are used by the upstream to build the MS Windows binary and the Developers reference(6.7.8.2. Repackaged upstream source) said "it is not a sufficient reason for omitting a file that it is used only when building on MS-DOS" so is needed a repackage? I have also tried to persuade the author to delete these files without success. There are also some .o files since this is a preview, and the upstream already said me that the release will be more clean. -- .''`.
