Ok, I sent this to the list a while ago, but I think it still works
somewhat.
It's the stripping methods we used in the VH project (creates a 6Mb
image IIRC):

Hi!

Ok, here we go. First you go to:

http://anakin.bluefish.se:8000/vh/12

...and download the source package. When we deploy "VH" we essentially
do this:

1. Read and follow comment of VHUtilities>>stripAndSave
2. Run stripAndSave. The strip method is something I gobbled together
from Swiki etc. Don't ask me for details... :-)
3. Run the "deploy script" which is just a simple bash script. Nothing
complicated.

I use this on a Debian box for packaging zips for both Linux and Win32.
You can also see the .bat files etc for starting up "different apps"
using the same image.

Mail me if you have questions.

regards, Göran
