[Locomotive-users] Reduce the size of the Universal binaries

[Seggy Umboh]

Hmm...if I am reading the program description right, it seems like
TrimTheFat actually removes support for architectures other than your own.
The script I have written merely eliminates duplicate files. In other words,
the program will continue to support all architectures, but has the downside
of only reducing the size of text files.

Locomotive stands to benefit greatly here because it contains numerous ruby
files that are duplicated between the two architectures. Will get numbers
when I have time...
