I really like it!  I was wondering whether to make it a subsection of
=E2=80=9CBootstrapping=E2=80=9D.  Thoughts?

Regardless we should update the =E2=80=9CPreparing to Use the Bootstrap
Binaries=E2=80=9D section (and its image) as well as =E2=80=9CReducing the =
Set of
Bootstrap Binaries=E2=80=9D (at least adding a cross-reference to the new
section.)

(Again I=E2=80=99m not suggesting to do it right away, this can come later!)

Thank you!
