please don't include mingw and mingw64 in main src tarball
ghc >= 7.6 source tarballs are now over 100MB! :-(
106M ghc-7.6.2-src.tar.bz2
106M ghc-7.6.1-src.tar.bz2
81M ghc-7.6.1/ghc-tarballs/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-4.6.3-release-win64_rubenvb.tar.bz2
25M ghc-7.4.2-src.tar.bz2
24M ghc-7.0.4-src.tar.bz2
Would it please be possible to distribute the huge mingw64 and also the mingw tarballs in a separate tarball(s) for people building for Windows? They probably also do not change as often as GHC does anyway...?
