Indeed they include it, and indeed they split it up, see here.

Since an AppImage is on a squashed filesystem that needs no installation, its on disk application footprint is only 213MB.
Actually, i don't know the size of my self-compiled Sigil installation, since i guess it's put in several places after `make install`.

Your point about the squash-compressed Image is thus very well made, thank you.
