Not that it matters to me whether you include the JSON files or not, but  
you could easily cut the distribution into 1/3 by having separate  
distributions for each platform.

This is the way it should be anyways -- I shouldn't have to download  
Windows or MAC binaries/libs to compile on Linux.  Or have to mark the  
Linux bins as executable (not necessary if the distribution was a  
tarball), which is kinda unfriendly for newbies/annoying for experienced  
coders.
