Description:
There're many debug files exists in mysql-noinstall-win32.zip, it make mysql-noinstall-win32.zip too large (compared to mysql-essential-win32.msi)

unzip -l mysql-noinstall-5.1.59-win32.zip
 --------  -----  -----                   -------
506655283      0      0                   5377 files

unzip -l mysql-noinstall-5.1.59-win32.zip *.pdb "*mysql-test*" "*debug*"
 --------  -----  -----                   -------
362907213      0      0                   5041 files

I think most mysql users on Windows will not use these debug files in their production environment, so i wish an essential noinstall-win32/win64.zip packaged can be provided to reduce file size and download time.

How to repeat:
unzip -l mysql-noinstall-5.1.59-win32.zip
unzip -l mysql-noinstall-5.1.59-win32.zip *.pdb "*mysql-test*" "*debug*"

While this is certainly a reasonable request, we currently have no plans to
provide an essentials package along these lines.
