The 8MB library is libstdc++, which can be statically linked if we figure
out how (this is on *windows*). Libsnappy is tiny.
And yes, this is a relevant difference if the overall installer without
libstdc++ is just 1.7 Mb sized today

(And no, making the installer even bigger by shipping two binaries
*and* the huge library is not a good plan :-))
