Re: "Official" binary of Emacs-24.4 for MS-Windows

[Dani Moncayo]

Hi Eli,

I've tried (for the first time) the "make install-strip" target from a
trunk build, and I've noticed something strange: the size of the
resulting stripped "emacs.exe" is ~ 16 MB, whereas the same file for
the 24.4 release (also stripped) is ~ 9 MB.

Such big difference is strange, isn't it?

Also, I've noticed this suspicious errors in the output of "make
install-strip", which don't appear in a "make install" from the same
build:
