i agree with you, that ProTeXt's Zip-Archive has become to big in the 
last years. While the greatest parts of the archive are claimed by the 
(La)TeX-packages shipped with MiKTeX, reducing the size comprise with 
the following problems:

- Which packages can be dropped, while there is still everything inside 
to "write math/scientific paper"s?

- Is MiKTeX's installation-routine still usable with a package-reduced 
istallation-archive?

- Will i run into any licensing problems, when i extract any packages 
from the installation-archive?

As long, as i don't have any serious answers to the questions pointed 
above, i'll see no chance for a size-reduction.

Sincerely - Thomas
