        Actually what I want exactly is like this. We know that many of 
the RPMS have documentation in all the available languages, especially the
kde and gnome one's. What i want is a utility through which I take a
compiled rpm, view its files, select which ones to drop and then it
repackages them again.

        With the distributions supporting all that many languages, maybe
we can squeeze the rpms into a single CD by removing the non-english docs.

        And I do not want want to write my own scripts/interface for all
this. I want something readymade :-)

        Hope I make it clear.
