Note that we can get the EXE down to 432 KB using UPX.
From a few simple tests:
1) Nothing seems broken.
2) Startup time is not really affected.
Command line:
upx.exe --best WaitZar.exe
We might consider doing this for release mode, and having users test with this.
I see
no benefit to keeping the EXE un-compressed, and 432 KB is about the size of
release 1.6.
upx.exe --best --ultra-brute WaitZar.exe
...gets the file size down to 374 KB, which is about the size of release 1.5. It
takes forever, but why not do it on release?

Seriously, the ability to reduce an executable by 75% of its total size with no
noticeable lag on startup is just amazing. Why AREN'T we using UPX?

Ok, I've built and shipped several demos with UPX and no-one's found any obvious
bugs. From now on, we use UPX.
