    Description

      The Qt 5 Windows binary installer has lots of duplicated files, which makes for a unnecessarily big download size and required hard disk space for installation.

      The biggest duplicated files are those included in the directories
      mingw47_32\bin\ & mingw47_32\lib\
      and
      Tools\MinGW\bin\ & Tools\MinGW\i686-w64-mingw32\bin\

      Specifically all of the Qt libraries.

      Attached a file generated with "DoubleKiller", a tool used for finding duplicate files.
