Hi Gustavo and all of you,
I am sorry I happened to encrypt my answer! Here it is in short :-)

This is VERY interesting for power users. The only drawback is that you 
have to add Keith Ray to your list of ultimately trusted programmers. As I 
don't know him I prefer for the moment to use the official builds.

Keith Ray's downsized release will obviously be very useful on USB-devices 
as well.

Gustavo, you'd better announce this on the GPG-users mailinglist as well.

Yours,
Per Tunedal
