I would say that if the files were distributed as .7z files, then no - the world is NOT ready :( But I found that even with a self-extractor stuck on, the .7z.exe file was still smaller than a gzip file [whether created by 7zip or gzip] ...I would suggest this be checked for a "Rockbox distro" as it is (by nature) considerably smaller than anything I have worked on (relevant to this post).
