I will go ahead and admit that I am probably confused on this matter since I rarely use nmap on Windows, but here it goes anyway. Since WinPcap is required for nmap on Windows, couldn't the libpcap/Win32 and libpcap/msdos directories be deleted from the included libpcap to reduce the nmap source distros? Those directories look to take up about 300kb together.
Good idea. Changing the distribution tarballs makes upgrading a bit of a pain (you need to repeat this each time), but I think it is worth it in this case. It reduces the .tar.bz2 size by about 50K (about 4%). I've done this for the next version.
