I planned to modify the package description to indicate it is an older 
version designed suited for smaller installations.

Here are the installed sizes on an x86 build (ext2) installing onto 
JFFS2 will of course yield space savings. I didn't measure the size of 
irssi-openssl as it is irrelevant to this discussion.

irssi 0.8.10 = 655KB
irssi 0.8.12 = 651KB

>> 2) what deps are there ? and can we kill some of them
irssi 0.8.10 + glib1 + libpthread + libncurses = 1234KB
irssi 0.8.12 + glib2 + libiconv + libintl + libncurses = 2314KB

Doesn't look like we can slim them down in any significant way. glib2 is 
a big nasty beast, 1247KB vs 158KB for glib1. The rest of the dep 
differences are minuscule -- libpthread (61KB) vs libiconv (23KB) and 
libintl (33KB) -- in comparison and roughly balance out.

I briefly looked at the irssi repo to see if we could simply re-add 
glib1 support for the newer version, but the changes are more extensive 
than I want to deal with and I certainly don't want to maintain a patch 
as we move forward.
