I removed a few checks in configure.in that are not needed for use in
luatex, and then I had to regenerate configure with my newer autotools
installation.  I do not understand which of those two actions actually
fixed it.

Some two megabytes of the executable is static data from fontforge's
Unicode library. In the previous version, I was able to cut that down
to a quarter of its size by removing unnecessary data and dropping
some of the CJK legacy encodings. Perhaps I will do that again when
we reach the beta-release stage for 0.40. But perhaps not, because
it makes importing new fontforge releases harder, and we could use
a proper embedded Unicode handling library anyway.

Best wishes,
Taco
