Uwe Stöhr 028cf852dc Win installer: updates and fixes
- enable support for Georgian
- update file sizes
- re-introduce the dictionary download because it is necessary to step through several mirrors if necessary. This function was once added because as it is now, only one mirror is used, if it is dead the user won't get the dictionary
- update the mirror list

2. open the file settings.nsh with a text editor
   and adapt there the following paths to the one on your PC, e.g.:
 !define FILES_LYX "C:\LyX-Installer\LyXPackage\LyX"
 !define FILES_DEPS "C:\LyX-Installer\LyX2.2x\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2015"

3. install the latest version 3.x of NSIS (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download)

   (extract the extension ZIP file in your NSIS installation folder and this way overwrite some files)

   extract from it the file FindProc.dll to the folder \Plugins\x86-unicode of
   NSIS's installation folder
6. open the file Inetc.zip (that is part of this bundle),
   extract from it the file INetC.dll to the folder \Plugins\x86-unicode of

   to compile the standard installer
8. right-click on the file lyx-bundle.nsi and choose "Compile NSIS script"
