Well, it was an ambitious project that sortof ran out of steam. Perhaps
I will pick it up someday again.

I simply gobbled together bits and pieces of shrinking scripts found on
the Swiki and messed around a bit with them. Note that VHUtilities
includes other bits and piece methods that are not needed for
stripAndSave.

Perhaps the latest majorShrink is better - I don't know.

Hehe, why don't you simply register the image you produced on SM? SM can
actually deal with any kind of resource, it doesn't *have* to be a
package.

I am thinking of adding image, VM etc as new "Package types" on SM.
Perhaps.
