Slim, stripped of unneeded documentation and files (including National Language Support; CRUX only supports the native language the programs were written in, which is english in most cases)

I'm positive about cutting unnecessary stuff, but imho that's a bit too much (I mean for us non native english speakers, or at least those not learning english)

Yeah, and this policy is especially nonsensical when you consider that in most cases the programs were actually written in C.
