Maximum compression of builds #19

The package is so small that the DL size is not a problem. Compatibility with default windows is more important here, and sadly, zip is available out of the box in Windows. those opts for ZIP are good. At this time it is not an issue, but in the future, I would like to deliver 6 files per release: That would reduce a lot the DL size, about half. Another possible improvement if all the binaries are delivered in the same package is to create a unique syntax and docs folder in the delivery structure. I wanted to maintain the linux-like folder structure used by lhmouse in his releases, but that wasn't my preference. I believe more package size can be saved that way than the small gain using 7z exe And I really prefer 7z over zip. Even gz or xz are better than zip. |

I've done some tests: ZIP format. Note I just used your zipped file, extracted the files, and compressed them with these options. |

Per https://superuser.com/a/742034, I created this branch and got this. Here are the results:
(-0.09%)
(3.37%)
7z compression is tricky, so maybe we just stick with the defaults. Is the zip compression worth a PR?
