I'm afraid I've got one change at least coming up, I want to implement

Well, I am not sure how relevant this option is since *.ucm are no
longer installed unless you tell Makefile.PL to do so. I've posted the
changes long time ago but to show the (ir)?relevance, I have complied a
pretty-printed du result of PERL5LIB on FreeBSD-4.5 current. FYI I have
clean-installed.
So the saving is around 30% on my FreeBSD box. I am not sure if
dropping CJK (even via Compile option) is worth it. Without CJKT, IMHO,
the juiciest part of Encode is gone. If it saves 50% or more I would
second that opinion but we all have to admit perl 5.8.0 is big, with or
without CJKT.
I'm not arguing against that, I should know since I collected all the
stuff... but the Encode CJK is still 7 megabytes out of 25 (without
the CJK Encode shared objects are just few hundred kB). I think the
option is worth having.
The default will still be to have it all.
Another exception I would second is for those platforms which need
static links such as Unicos.
Also, PDAs that are glad for every kB you can shave away.
