I say completely scrap the idea of an all-in-one download for releases.
The three times bigger download size and added complexity of building the all-in-one isn't worth any effort IMHO for the three people somehwere that might want to run on more than one platform. Any interested parties are certain to be able to easily pick their appropriate platform download.

Concentrating on making sure the downloads for separate platforms have the Readmes, image, changes, sources and VM, and being a pleasant first experience is important however.
