Hello all,
building ethereal without debugging information reduces the size of the binaries by 40% !
In this case, the installers' size is reduced to 8.6 MB when lzma compression is used and both GTK1 and GTK2 version of Ethereal are included.
I would build the official release without those debugging information. Somebody who wants to use the debuggin information has to download the source and build ethereal locally anyway.
To build without debugging information you have to remove /Zi flag in LOCAL_CFLAGS and /DEBUG flag in LOCAL_LDFLAGS in config.nmake . 

Best regards,
Lars
