Well, the main three files which are missing are cc1obj.exe, cc1plus.exe and cpp0.exe. Together they are 2.4MB (bzip2-ed), which is not that much compared to a 35MB installer. 6.4.1 should be a patchlevel release, so I'd argue to *not* remove any functionality in 6.4 and re-include the stuff. Perhaps we can leave it out in the next major release, but leaving it in the installer is not a big deal IMHO. Hmmm, I guess that cc1obj.exe is for ObjectiveC and cc1plus.exe is for C++, but what is cpp0.exe?
