Huge installation size of GR on Windows #110

I installed https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl that depended on https://github.com/jheinen/GR.jl that installed GR from this repo.

With version of GR.jl 0.48.0, on Windows .julia\packages\GR folder size is 301.8 MB. Biggest contributor seems to be .julia\packages\GR\yMV3y\deps\gr\bin\libGLESv2d.dll with size 179.8 MB.

Looking around the net, this file seems to be the debug version of libGLESv2.dll sized 3.8 MB that is included as well.

Would it be possible to get rid of the libGLESv2d.dll? Tests on Julia pass without that file.

Hello, thank you for reporting this! This library was included as a part of our Qt5 runtime archive, but it seems to have been in there by mistake as we do not use any other debug libraries for Qt5. I have removed the library from that Qt5 runtime archive, so it should not be part of any future GR builds.
