Much needed size optimization of this app - Python for Scientific Computing (for Linux 64-bit)

After bumping in to the "Error while deploying apps to first member, aborting apps deployment to all members: Error while updating app=Splunk_SA_Scientific_Python_linux_x86_64" problem, we too were forced to double our max_content_length value on our search head cluster members.

Upon closer look on "why is this app so big" I could see that several files unter bin/linux_x86_64/4_2_2/lib are actually duplicated. What we usually see as symlink to the library files, are current copies of the same file.
After tweaking a little bit on those files, I guess we can reduce around 500MB of duplicated library files and bring it below the accepted standard of 2GB.

Maybe someone overlooked that while compiling and packaging the app?
