Hi Brad
Your suggestion would indeed save space but I would not recomment it.
It will work for some modules, won't for some others.
It would have to tested case by case because doing so globally you might be 
stripping symbols needed for relocation and/or modules parameters. That is 
what I rembered from some experiments I did along this line some months ago.
So it's probably safer to leave that option to  the end user (some lines 
could be added along these lines in the modules section of the install guide) 
with a strip.lrp package.
strip  with --strip-unneeded flag would be safer but would save less space.
