Also, from the next build on (if built, 'cause there is a problem with managed.h), there's gonna be an inkscape_exe.zip which promises to be even smaller.
Bobs nightly builds appear to unzip to yield the Inkscape.exe file.
Yeap. The big ZIP file (Inkscape%y%m%d%H%M.zip) has inkscape.exe and that's it, no stripped version needed.
Instead of Zip have you considered using UPX? http://upx.sourceforge.net/
If you are compressing just an EXE it might produce better results and it produces a binary that can be run without needing to decompress it. I'm sure there must be some speed penalty but for all the times I've used UPX I cant say it is noticable.
