Why? What's the advantage of full.exe? It's so big that a broken
conection is way more annoying than with many smaller packages
and it's much more complicated to maintain.
We want to be able to substitute single packages when they have
an error or a new version is available.
A full.exe would have to be build again each time or it wouldn't
contain the latest packages.
