Comment(by cscott):

 I've removed gnome-icon-theme; removed all icon caches; fixed the pilgrim
 bits which were supposed to remove /var/lib/rpm/*db.0*; normalized
 /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/%gconf-tree.xml; and made all files in the
 build have a creation/modification time of 2007-11-02.  This should remove
 8M or so from each update.

 Icon caches are only useful if the filesystem takes a long time to seek;
 flash does not.

 I'd still like to do better with the files in /var/lib/rpm.
