Is gnome-i18n module too fat?

["R.I.P. Deaddog" <deaddog deaddog org>]

Currently, the gnome-i18n module takes a long time to check out, partly
due to the Sun l10n style guides inside gnome-i18n module. It looks like
we could have saved around 25% of space/time by compressing the
PostScript files and FrameMaker sources in style guides:

[deaddog@localhost CVS.GNOME.ORG]$ du -s gnome-i18n*
77852   gnome-i18n
56488   gnome-i18n.compressed

I think compressing them won't cause any problem, since there is no
change since the first commit 2 years ago, and it's unknown at all if
there will be any future update.

Now another question remains: what should be used to compress them?
bzip2? gzip?
