That would probally reduce the size by something like 100KB, not
really worth it.

Providing xdeltas (aka binary patches) could help more, but on the
other site 2MB arn't really that much these days and compiling from
CVS might also help if someones connection is really slow.

BTW. I haven't tested this for a while, but the automatic CVS compile
script might still work:

Betatesters should use CVS + static binary (which is a seperate
download), the rest of the people has to redownload the data anyway
between new releases, since it also changes quite a lot.
