 Note that a big chunk of that is the GRASS source which is already on
 the site, so it doesn't need to be replicated. Just took that out and
 now we are down to 29M.

I have copied your file wingrass_sources.tar (which should be better
gzip'ed, btw)

All it's content is gzip'ed, so gzip'ing the .tar doesn't make any difference in terms of size...

also to
http://grass.osgeo.org/grass63/binary/mswindows/

Now we have there
* MSYS_Environment_080303.zip        03-Mar-2008 07:39   58M
* wingrass_sources.tar.gz            26-Mar-2008 01:39   28M

I feel that there is replication.

Why ?

the MSYS environment contains the environment needed to compile GRASS binaries, including the binaries and headers of dependencies, but not the source code of all these dependencies which is in wingrass_sources.

Where you have replication is between the MSYS environment file and the binary installer, since both contain the binaries of the different dependencies...
