I don't understand why maemo-optify doesn't just move *everything* to /opt, 
including files under 2k etc. What advantage does it give to not have them in 
/opt? For instance, I ran into this problem with asterisk where it had many 
small sound files which still put 600k on the NAND.

-    } elsif ($size >= 2048) {
+    } elsif ($size >= 0) {

...

In sum, what is the upside of including anything but symlinks on the NAND? 
IMHO, it should punt everything to /opt as long as it is needed at all.

Thanks for maemo-optify, it makes things sooooo much lazier^H^H...easier. :)
