Maybe someone here knows the answer to something that has been bugging me.

I'm thinking about the way WSJT-X (and others of our programs) will be packaged for end users -- in particular, for Windows.

One of the required support files, icudt51.dll, is some 22 MB -- more than three times larger than any of the others. Is there a way that we can extract and use what we need from this library, without using the whole thing? If so, would doing that be consistent with the relevant license?

Another way of handling this would be to have a one-time download of support files, and a separate, much smaller, download of the stuff that typically gets changed with our version upgrades. With the present WSJT-X this makes for a basic support file of 13.5 MB and a WSJT-X_v1.4 file of 2.5 MB. Would this be a good way to package things, in the future? Or is the hassle more trouble than it's worth, with today's disk sizes and internet speeds?
