 The legit install here is no more than half a megabyte.

 I've already been forced to install perl, so I can't say how many
 megabytes that would be. The libgcj junk is 19. With the rest of the junk
 as well, the total hit comes to 22 megabytes for under half a megabyte.
 That's a 4350% overhead.

 Remember, the hope is that kids can participate. With nonsense
 like this, participation on the XO is needlessly difficult.
