How exactly is 163640 so good?  It looks roughly comparable to:

-rwxr-xr-x   1 nobody   32766        4717 May 12 23:37 /rb/2/usr/bin/dumpe2fs
-rwxr-xr-x   2 nobody   32766       71229 May 12 23:37 /rb/2/usr/bin/e2fsck
-rwxr-xr-x   1 nobody   32766       16289 May 12 23:37 /rb/2/usr/bin/mke2fs
-rwxr-xr-x   1 nobody   32766        4076 May 12 23:37 libcom_err.so.2
-rwxr-xr-x   1 nobody   32766       11576 May 12 23:37 libe2p.so.2
-rwxr-xr-x   1 nobody   32766       68980 May 12 23:37 libext2fs.so.2
-rwxr-xr-x   1 nobody   32766       13792 May 12 23:37 libss.so.2
-rwxr-xr-x   1 nobody   32766        8132 May 12 23:37 libuuid.so.1

Which is my 1.19 ext2fs stuff.  I am hoping to get around to running
mklibs.sh on the libraries, etc., and get it smaller, but I would have
thought if it was combined it would have been smaller than 165...
