I'm not the Pilot maintainer, but is 460,936 bytes really worth worrying
about in this day and age? Assuming US $1/GB (which is probably high
these days), we are talking about $0.0004 in disk cost. That doesn't seem
to be worth it.
I took a brief look and it looks like Pilot includes the c-client
library's Unicode support routines. I don't know why, but I'm sure that
it's for some good reason.

The maintainer of the pine package in Debian left a note in the Debian bug

Basically, it seems to have gotten to be a fairly huge binary for no
particular reason. The list of libraries to which it links has also
ballooned. A quick look at the Makefiles seem to indicate that pico, pilot,
and pine link to the same libraries; maybe that could be trimmed down?
