Very good idea.. Just tried creating a self-extract archive with 7-zip, 
my preferred zip tool which I recommend to all.. And it created one in 
about 5 minutes with maximum compression with a resulting 8.9MB archive 
(smaller than all the other archives we provide). It decompresses in 
less than a minute, on my slow 1.2Ghz machine.

I guess I should add this to the set of available downloads :-)
