The build size is pretty big and /usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-12.0 is pretty big
for me.
$ find /usr -type d -name xulrunner\* -exec du -sh {} \;
2.4G /usr/src/firefox/mozilla-release/xulrunner-build-dir
32M /usr/src/firefox/mozilla-release/xulrunner-build-dir/dist/xulrunner
1.4M /usr/src/firefox/mozilla-release/xulrunner-build-dir/xulrunner
2.2M /usr/src/firefox/mozilla-release/xulrunner
45M /usr/src/xulrunner
6.8M /usr/share/idl/xulrunner-12.0
27M /usr/include/xulrunner-12.0
475M /usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-12.0
32M /usr/lib/xulrunner-12.0
Most of this is in /usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-12.0/sdk/lib/libxul.so
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 463M May 13 13:45 libxul.so, but stripping it gets it
down to 24M.
