Right, I missed the .o and .dll files, counting only wizznic-x86-precompiled
and tools/releaser/data/win/curl/curl.exe (the ones mentioned by lintian).

The dlls are libjpeg, zlib, libogg, SDL, openssl -- all DFSG free with
source already in main.

It would be merely a bit of waste, except for one detail: the Windows binary
is built against openssl while being GPLed without an openssl exception, and
thus undistributable.


So in the end the source tarball needs to be repacked, just not for the
reasons stated.
