Fantastic Job! However, the bloated file is problematic. It causes
longer startup time of applications and consumes a lot of memory.

Unfortunately the COPYING says,
Any distribution of the files must take place without a financial
return, except a charge to cover the cost of the distribution medium.
This contradicts against uim and other opensource software's license.
Anyway, your work is an interesting experiment.

Yeah! I hope so. But probaly it will take few months.
