OK let's wait with that for another release.

There is no reason to bundle binaries for all platforms in a single
archive other than distributing it via CD-ROM. We're adding lzma
archives to cut our bandwidth needs in half, we're adding more library
flavors (m32coff, maybe debug libs at some point), and we're releasing
much more often. The files since 2.065 already take up 65% of all space.
I remember we already did talk about that with you a few months ago,
please update DVM.
