If I'm not wrong, the bigger the libraries are, the more memory ESL saves,
isn't it ?
If only looking at Qt we have:
2261447 sep 14 10:16 /usr/lib/qt/lib/libqt.so.1.44
and
5494001 dic 18 16:28 /usr/lib/qt2/lib/libqt.so.2.1.0
# strip libqt.so.2.1.0
4940632 dic 21 12:15 libqt.so.2.1.0

That would mean that we would save (a bit) more than 7 Mb in the HEAD branch,
IMHO that's definitely sufficient to use ESL if Waldo's work on the dynamic
linker cannot be done.
