So I'm going to give it a shot, hopefully the upload goes through.

Basically, we stage everything to a directory as part of the build
process, and then wrap that in an installer.

What I tried this time was to take that directory and compress it, and
upload that.

At first I did a .zip file, but that turned out to be 30MB, which seemed
a bit much compared to the 14MB installer.

So I installed 7zip, and created a self-extracting LZMA file, and
uploaded that.

I don't have a great name for it yet. It isn't a plain zip file, so I
can't just name it "bzr-XXX.zip" I wanted to name it "noinstall" but
Vista detects that as an "installer" and tries to run it as Admin.

So I went with "bzr-zip-1.9rc1-1.exe". If anyone has a better
suggestion, I'm happy to listen.

Anyway, it is a 14MB self-extracting 7z (lzma) compressed archive. Give
it a shot, and see if it fits what you are looking for.
