PDF file sizes on windows. Feedback wanted

[Han-Wen Nienhuys]

Hello,

there have reports of exploding file sizes for Lily's PDF output on 
various flavors of Windows. In order to understand this problem better, 
I would like people that experience this problem to run the following 
diagnostic

* download http://lilypond.org/~hanwen/cygcheck.exe

* download http://lilypond.org/~hanwen/checksum.py

* open a CMD window

* Go to the directory where you downloaded cygcheck.exe and checksum.py

* run:

   python checksum.py

* this should leave a file gs-checksum.log; send this file to the 
bug-lilypond list.

If I do this, I get a file looking like this

C:/WINDOWS/system32/USER32.dll 96457929ad87e02918e53fea42b0521f
C:/WINDOWS/system32/GDI32.dll  dc883d0e93944c08efda7a12aef50080
C:/WINDOWS/system32/msvcrt.dll 397e905aa74c232f80d86058435998cb

(etc.)
