New release of the Windows installer from Thomas Heller.
The known bug (bogus error message when an empty file is extracted) is fixed. Other changes: - The target-compile and target-optimize flags of bdist_wininst are gone. It is no longer possible to compile the python files during installation. - The zlib module is no longer required or used by bdist_wininst. - I moved the decompression/extraction code into a separate file (extract.c). - The installer stub is now compressed by UPX (see http://upx.tsx.org/). This reduces the size of the exe (and thus the overhead of the final installer program) from 40 kB to 16 kB. - The installer displays a more uptodate user wizard-like user interface, also containing a graphic: Just's Python Powered logo. (I could not convince myself to use one of the BeOpen logos). - The installation progress bar now moves correctly.
