The installer of 0.10.0 had already a size of 14 MB. With lzma 
compression and with an additional GTK build, we can keep this size.

The normal windoze user probably won't make a backtrace.
I think the official release doesn't need those symbol tables.
If we really can reduce the size of each binary by 10 MB, we will get a 
much smaller installer and we can provide an installer with both a GTK1 
and the GTK2 build.

What do we have to do to strip the symbol tables with MSVC?

A switch in config.nmake would be very useful. Developers will build 
with those symbol tables, so they can do a backtrace and debugging.
