It is all just a question of what software is loaded -- usertags
and the Perl modules they include.

If you remove a lot of the UI tags, you can get the core size
down to near what Minivend 4 used. I think the minimum achievable
is about 14M size if you don't have any of Bundle::Interchange
installed and have no catalogs.

The current foundation takes about 600K for each catalog, and
a lot of that is the Locale stuff. If you remove all of the
Locale translations, it comes down to 250K.
