one last attempt...
my interest in filing this bug was
a) reduce the size of the ISO
b) clean up the ISO by removing orphans and unneeded spells

the original comment made by Benoit was that it was used in summon so
couldn't
be removed.
I tried to explain that its usage was optional ... and ended up in a pseudo
flame war
I think everyone now understands that it's usage is optional and that it
could
be removed from the ISO with no adverse effects.
This is a seperate issue to reimplementing a system of making and serving
xdelta patches for those with low bandwidth.

"And, please, please, stop thinking that your point of view is the only one.
xdelta is not used (yet), but this is no reason to get rid of it."
REPLY
Because it is not used now is a perfect reason to remove xdelta from the
ISO.If someone starts making xdeltas patches available then the user only
needs install xdelta and THEN turn it on from the sorcery menu.

IF ISO team (now having more appreciation of this and having had some more
feedback from some other users) decides to leave glib and xdelta on the ISO
then mark the bug as closed.
