Hello,

the latest nsis releases contain a new additional compression mechanism:
Lzma

Lzma's compression is stronger than bzip2's which is used by nsis by 
default. There is a big impact on ethereal's nsis installer's size.
Lzma reduces the size from about 13.5 MB to 9.3 MB .

Attached patch activates Lzma in nsis.

The current nsis-script for ethereal and this patch require at least 
nsis-rc1. nsis-rc3 is the most recent version on the nsis website, rc4 
is already available on sourceforge.

Best regards,

Lars Roland
