The javascript directories seem to gobble a ton of space -- perhaps moving all of the Javascript libraries into a 'common' directory outside of the language specific templates could be done. In my quick test that saved ~200mb of disk space, and brought the compressed distribution to ~27mb (from 47mb) and took ~2 minutes, and probably another 30 minutes to fix the code to reference javascript out of a new directory.
Heck, you could probably fix it with mod_rewrite and no actual code change!
