Comment:

 We do have a new 84MB mingw64 tarball, which means that the `ghc-tarballs`
 repo is now about 130MB.  That's unfortunate.  It might have been better
 to make a new repo for this, so that only Win64 builds have to get it.
 What are we going to do for the source distribution?

 What is the "100MiB of libraries" referred to in the ticket?
