Actually, there is some information on the Swiki, if you look at the Squeak FAQ under the question:
"How do you make a Squeak executable that can be distributed? (Including end-user bulletproofing, and
stripping out unused code?)"

Basically, the answer comes down to using SystemDictionary>>majorShrink or some subset of the methods
inside it.  I just tried running majorShrink in 2.8, and it seems to generally work, with a few quirks
such as changesorters not working.
