[QGIS-Developer] Exe size mismatch

[Nathan Woodrow]

The same thing just depends on the build options.  For the windows nightly
builds, you will end up with stuff like qgis-dev-bin.exe  and qgis-bin.exe
depending on what versions you have installed.  I started the work Jurgen
finished it off for me.

Like Andreas said the size difference is simply the different build
options, one thing different and it's going to be different.

The Could not load qgis_app.dll normally means it can't find something that
qgis_app.dll is needing to load, could be Qt, could be GDAL or anything
that is loaded really.  It's a tricky one to debug and I have never run the
package scripts for QGIS on Windows so can't help there sorry.
