A lot of the dependencies are different, a newer compiler was used,
compression might be different.

But it probably just proj-data and numpy.  proj/share has ~580MB in the new
installer while its only 14MB in the old.  numpy with mkl is 600MB vs. numpy
w/o 45MB in the old.

After all proj-data blocked the update from PROJ 6 to 7 for a while since that
alone would have exceeded NSIS 2 GB limit.
