Absolutely YES!	This would be a great improvement.
Good binaries are ... ,well, good, but why the hell do we have to develop
the wheel one more time ?

Well, I don't think you have to include *only* these materials, but _do_
reduce the binaries !

(btw.: In times with ABI,Elf,etc. I am scared of an overall-reduction
of sources :-(	Isn't this the wrong way ? )
