This has been extensively discussed on the list in the past. There
are a lot of good ideas (e.g., vtable GC, compressing metadata), but
nobody has implemented them yet. Adam Megacz has a script he uses to
reduce the size of his program; as I recall he made it available in
the recent past (within the last month or two).
