[Libreoffice] Windows installer size reduction effort - the compression theory

[Kálmán „KAMI” Szalai]

Hi Folks,

Following the advices of Michael, I pushed these to the master:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/bootstrap/commit/?id=3fdf828b833f04f115a0f3d99aa8b1221f0365db
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/components/commit/?id=03b720f9be65745ce3ec8115f733e792f03c5814

I hope it is OK for all of us.

Maybe it can be useful for -3-3 and -3-3-2 too.

Cheers,
KAMI
