[R-SIG-Win] Size of Rtools33

[Jeroen Ooms]

Hi Kirill,

This is noted in https://github.com/rwinlib/r-base#readme: It is
mostly because we are shipping two separate tool chains instead of one
multilib. Another reason is that recent versions of gdb depend on
python, which again depends on a lot of other libraries. If you are
not interested in gdb, you might be able to remove python related
things.

Btw this might not be the final Rtools, so maybe wait a bit.
