including debug information in the default distribution has proven
useful on many occasions. it's entirely worth the size increase.

crash logging may change in the future to a system that doesn't require
debug info to reside next to the program (possibly with Breakpad
<http://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/> if they ever support our
compiler); for now, it stays.

Title:
  Installer contains large unnecessary PDB file

Status in DC++:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  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).
