My suggestion(s):

Send to Rahul Dhesi and let him put them on c.b.i.p -- he's back in
business now, so let him slice'n'dice the final packaging.

(Do something between your options 2 and 3, via Rahul):  Split it into
the executables, and the ASCII text.  The executables need to be
packaged and ascii-ized anyway; the documentation etc.  could be
distributed as ASCII to make the mailers more efficient.  The doc.  file
is the biggest piece anyway.  I think I recall that PAK/ARC etc.  have a
store-without-compression option, which would do the trick.  Certainly
ZOO does; and I'd rather see things distributed in ZOO format anyway.
