Not quite as good as compression, but plutil -convert xml1  
Localizable.strings turns 188 KB into 80 KB. Surprisingly (to me)  
plutil -convert binary1 Localizable.strings does no better.

I've verified that the file still works as expected when in xml1  
format.  This makes sense since a .strings file is just an oddly  
formatted property-list file.

Would it be possible to run this conversion at make time on all  
strings files *except* the ones in English.lproj?
