The patch is big because you have repeated big 'configure' artifacts all
over the directory tree:
ltconfig ltmain.sh configure config.guess config.sub aclocal.m4
These take up 75% (1030k out of 1390k total) of the uncompressed tar.
(or 80% [260k out of 330k] of the compressed tar).
I am not sure what the policy should be in this case. I'm simply pointing
out the facts. This big repetition of files does not feel right, but it
does not seem to be critical.
--------
The above measurements were performed by
tar -xzOf dllExamples.tar.gz list-of-filter-flags | gzip | wc
This measurement is not accurate, so there may be some (minor)
inaccuracies in the analysis (I have quota limitations on this machine).
