Cython is small, so the extra couple MB is not really a big issue,
though my internet connection at work is really slow ;-(. But as Greg
commented, this is unpolite. If all projects out there did the same,
even you will complain (think of core CPython doing this). For
example, I'm involved in developing PETSc. The latest release tarball
weights 14MB; if we add the .hg directectory, that would add 85MB; and
many PETSc users are also developers...
