Ouch. So its that libslang itself should be reduced, and based on
that, the usage in libnewt should be reduced?
Kinda sounds like an ordering problem....
Anyhow, I wonder if we should perhaps have a special libslang which we
use for boot-floppies which is already pre-stripped? I wonder how
doable that is.
How many bytes are needed for alpha, exactly?
