Public bug reported:

DC++ 0.799 Windows Installer

I wondered why the DC++ Installer is quite big (42.5MB) and 
noticed that a 120MB file called DCPlusPlus.pdb gets installed.

This file is a Program Database file (from MS Visual Studio compiler)
necessary only for debugging.

Removing this file from the Installer would reduce the installer/download
size by 50% (42MB -> 21MB) and installation size by 80% (150MB -> 30MB).
