Stripping the shared libraries with --strip-debug, the executables with
--strip-unneeded, removing src.zip and man, demo, sample directories, reduces
the size of the tarball by roughly a factor of three (slightly less).

I'll test that I can rebuild OpenJDK/Icedtea with those reduced binaries
before uploading them.

OTOH, if somebody does not want to build OpenJDK/Icedtea, and wants to use the
binary as is, it may be better to keep demo, man, and sample (adds 7MB or so).
I do not know if src.zip is useful: It adds 40-45MB. Anybody knows what it is
useful for?
