Hi,

I just spent a while looking at this, and I'm really really nervous about
shrinking the binary further.  The space break down is as follows:

8       makefile
8       sage
8       sage-README-osx.txt
24      README.txt
24      matplotlibrc
120     ipython
144     COPYING.txt
616     HISTORY.txt
1480    spkg
8080    examples
38368   data
64304   doc
265472  devel               <--- bigger for you by default!
1122744 local

Notice that doc is trivial in size compared to local, and having
looked a bunch at
local the size there is mostly in certain libs (not binaries).
In my opinion it would be a very bad idea to shrink the sage install
much further, and would just be asking for things to break.

I did make a somewhat small binary for you, which eliminates some
cruft from the devel directory that isn't needed to run Sage.  It's
here:
