20% space savings!

[Michael Elizabeth Chastain]

I pulled a Daniel Berlin last night (in a good way) and started
packing structures like a #4 train at rush hour.

'maint space' has gone from:

  before: 99352576
  after:  79478784

It would take a lot of time to merge these patches into gdb.
I would have to write up a road map, and then test the patches
one at a time (that is the hard part, regression testing stuff
like coff), then submit the patches one at a time to the
symtab maintainers.

Is this something worth pursuing?
