Of the megabyte, probably about 80% is essentially a runtime environment -
which theoretically is a one time download.  If one could educate a Setup
script sufficiently to look for the environment, the distribution of even
the most complex VPython constructions could be done as an executable of <
250k.  An eye blink at decent bandwidth.  Setup could only go back for the
"runtime" if it doesn't find it on the machine.

Not terribly different from what is normal for Flash or Java applets.
Probably the best available alternative to a Java based VPython - in some
ways better, I think.

Of course, the Windows only aspect is a big downside.  I won't even try to
approach what would be necessary to make this a true crossplatfrom
capability.
