You didn't read it properly. I said both *source code* and compiler can be distributed inside Windows binary, so to make it appear to user as simple as if they are installing some standard Windows application, while in fact when they press a button instead of installation there would be compilation.
The reason is that this would give everyone the kind of build they want, plus the build could be optimized for their particular CPU. Of course for this to work we first have to automatize "tiny.mak" thing or come up with some other method.

I did not ask you to do anything for me. It seems pretty obvious everyone here would get rid of mech and mahjong, at least, if they could, so the option to make custom builds and reduce the size of the binary seem far more desirable than adding MESS to the whole bloat and increasing the size of the binary even more.

All I'm really proposing here is to improve and automatize "tiny.mak" thing, an extra feature that does not cause any problems. If you don't want it, just don't use it.
Anyway, what do you say is the purpose combined MAME+MESS build is supposed to serve?
