[Python-Dev] Compressing MSI files: 2.4.2 candidate?

["Martin v. Löwis"]

I just found that I can save somewhat more than 1MiB in
the MSI file by using LZX:21 instead of the standard
MSZIP when compressing the CAB file. A resulting package
can be found at

http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/home/loewis/python-2.4.2c1.msi

Can people please test whether this installs just as well?

Is it ok to use this modified procedure for 2.4.2 final (2.4.2c1
still uses MSZIP).

Regards,
Martin
