Interestingly enough, Windows actually does keep track of which files change 
and which don't. Plus, it's probably pretty easy to guess in most cases. EXE 
and DLL files? Pack em tight. Mailbox files? You probably want to leave some 
space.

That may have been true a long time ago, but I don't expect it's true any more.
