I actually meant stripping the erlang .beam files as apparently you
can save up to 50% space this way... But I didn't know about the nm
tool so I will definitely keep that in mind :-)

I'm not sure I'm hardcare enough for that hacking but I would be nice
if you could put it up somewhere and see if someone picks it up!

Right now I'm trying to walk down the same path as wings3d. Just
copying erlang runtime systems necessary files into the bundle and
using NSTask to spawn a process. I think also the the mac app version
of couchbase single server does this. Then I can just use the standard
couchdb build.
