I'm hoping this was some irony on the author's part.  However, you 
**can** use djg to compress every .exe file in the bin directory, 
which will save you some space.  The "symbolic links" won't be 
compressed, and as far as I know, the only program that doesn't run 
well compressed is gzip.  I just did a
  djp *.exe
in the bin directory and then reinstalled gzip.  Works for me :-)
