Why 2X bigger? I see a change from 20.8 to 32 from LyX 2.1.4 to 2.2.0rc1.

Here are some possible reasons:

- We updated the version of boost, which caused us to go from 30MB to 43MB

- The src/ directory went from 22MB to 41MB
  Much of this is due to the Resources.cpp file, which went from 3.6MB to 24MB.

- We now include libiconv (8MB)

I imagine some of the increase comes from adding files need to build on 
Windows. With 2.2.0dev our Windows binary is built from the self-contained tar 
ball. We needed to add extra files for this.

Also I think I remember that we added some files in order to be able to use
.svg icons.
