Slim, stripped of unneeded documentation and files (including National Language Support; CRUX only supports the native language the programs were written in, which is english in most cases)

I’m positive about cutting unnecessary stuff, but imho that’s a bit too much (I mean for us non native english speakers, or at least those not learning english)
