The *.pdb files are debugging symbol files and not required for running
any programs. Yes, some of them should reside with the Apache modules,
you see it by looking at the names.

The installer are more basic because the space the *.pdb files occupies.
But includes everythin you need in order to run both clients and
servers. Developers, admins will consider to check out the other files
at the Windows' file sharing area.

I had an intention of making one more installer (a dev version)including
the contents of every zip file on the Windows' file sharing area but
will probably drop it. I have a few reasons for this:

 *Developers and admins tends to find what want by them self
 *It don't look like someone are missing anything from the
  installer (exept perhaps full handling of the httpd modules)

I will probably wait and see what people ask for after 1.0. The biggest
demand (requests) of changes are probably people who want to push their
own prefared installers (msi, Install shileld, wise etc) to the
Subversion project.
