There will be a grat deal of refactoring required before the module system
will work to shrink the image efficiently. Even with the module system, all
the horrible dependencies are still there and need to be removed.
So it will be a while before the old-style shrinking procedure will be
superseded.

PS. I think the Worlds of Squeak projects are the large memory users in the
image, in terms of saving space. Removing all the classes of the largest
subsystem (VMConstruction) only gives you ~600k worth of shrinking, for
example. Someone else may be able to answer this better.
