one of the last steps towards the qnx port, is to get a *.tgz binary  
package prepared.

PLIST file is created and .tgz filled.

but i wonder the size of the file: about 7.5 mbyte

looking a little inside, i detected, that a lot is coming from db_*  
files from lib/rpm

suprising is, that all are nearly the same size as if they have a  
common big part and same small add ons

are my ideas right?
can it be changed to save space?

we' will use the system for an embedded system. we're know fighting  
for every byte, but 7.5 mbyte is at least critical.
