Yes, and yes it's the libraries (most of which wont be found on a typical Windows box). This is a Windows only compilation until I get around to installing everything I need on one of my Linux boxes, so it needs to be something that can be decompressed on Windows. However, I did try a few compression options in 7zip (including bzip2) and it was still well over 5120kb.
Regarding a Linux compilation, no-one has spoken up for one so it'll take a lower priority than sorting out some of the rough edges in TTConv. However, I'm guessing that a typical actively used Linux box will have Python installed and ready to use, in which case the Python scripts are as good as a compiled binary file.
