[izpack-devel] Web installer repository

[Markus Schlegel]

Just double the size is not correct, because the temp-dir may be on a
different drive than the Target-dir.
Also I think the size does not matter anymore, since diskspace is cheap, and
most people have a lot of it. SO I could live with the double space
solution.
