upgrade

LATER: This could be added, but can we do it later in a future ticket. It
would be good if the first version of this patch is quite safe. Hey, it
already saves *1 GB* as is!

in their docstrings.
OK: I'll fix the patch right now.

ticket description is wrong or out of date - it's under 20 MB)

NO: Pointless, and scary in that it would break functionality, which is
probably a bad idea. Good point about the size. I must have been testing
something with some optional fonts installed.

FUTURE: Yes, but in a future version of this?

FUTURE: It's safer to put a small string in each, to avoid confusion.
This happens automatically when you build a binary with "sage -bdist".
Anyway, this is something that could be added later.
