Hm, maybe it would be better to *not* compress wininst.exe by upx any longer. The uncompressed exe is 57344 bytes, the compressed on 21504 bytes. Any bdist_wininst installer would be 36 kB larger, which isn't a large deal.
After 5 minutes, it became crystal clear to me that this is the obvious solution. Who cares about 36 kB, and that's probably less than the size of the GPL. I'll change this for the 2.3.4 release. Thomas
