I don't like it. 11MB is huge. I've not completed the download yet, but
you say you use Inno Setup. Is it possible to just unpack the setup file
as if it were a zip file (I don't think it is, with Inno)? I dislike
installers, in general, and if the thing is just an archive (ie, it
doesn't need registry entries, or icons, or the like) then I don't want
to use them. And I *don't* need icons, or uninstall options, for MSYS.

Please reinstate the straight zip file method. You can have an installer
as well, if you must, but don't force it on me. If you want an
installer, what's wrong with just making a self-extracting zipfile?
