Size Matters

Refer to SeaMonkey Internationalization Library Source Tree Plan.  We may consolidate some of these modules to reduce the number of libraries that need to be loaded if it has impact on start up performance.

Mandatory modules (.dll, .so, .shlib) required for minimal install:

• chardet (will land for M8)
• lwbrk
• nslocale
• strres
• uconv
• ucvlatin
• ucharuti (previously named unicharutil)

Optional modules (provides converters for specific charset encodings) required for complete installs and appropriate localized builds.

• ucvja, jcvja2 (Japanese)
• ucvko (Korean)
• ucvcn, ucvtw, ucvtw2 (Chineses)

¹See charset conversions added to M5 build: M5 Charset Converters
² Placeholders -- no actual converters in these modules for these in M5 or M6.
³Investigating why M6 Windows DLLS are bloated (bug 7748).
⁴Reorganized converter libraries:

Big5 converter move from ucvcn to ucvtw
EUC-TW converter move from ucvcn to ucvtw2
EUC-KR converter move from ucvcn to ucvko

In the future, we will do the following:
1. add ISO-2022-KR into ucvko
2. add HZ into ucvcn
3. add GBK into ucvcn
4. add conversion table plan 3-7 of CNS 11643 to make a more complete
x-euc-tw converters - into ucvtw2
5. Add ISO-2022-CN into ucvcn

ftang is thinking of separating the Vietnamese converters (VISCII, cp1258,
VPS)  into a separate dll so people can add VIQR and VNI. Any opinion ?

⁵Release team did not generate a _sizes.txt for the Linux M7 build.  Produced size info by un-tarring and running ls -lR.
⁶ In M9, renamed Windows unicharutil.dll to ucharuti.dll because of Win9.x 8.3 file naming bug 10368
