Hi, I decided to give the UPX-compressed pre-release / release candidate of Setup.exe a try.
It's interesting to see that UPX compresses better even than bzip2. I suppose that's because UPX is specifically designed for executable files. It's also very nice that the compressed file remains directly executable. Anyway, I was wondering if someone who knows what the proper magic file entries should be for detecting a UPX-compressed binary could supply them (assuming there is a discernable signature for these files)? Likewise, if the magic file entry (-ies) could be added or submitted to the appropriate maintainer for inclusion in the Cygwin or the primary "file" distribution, that would great.
