Cloning this repo is "a bit of a pain" on slow connections (not to mention wasteful in storage), due to older commits that included all the .so files. Good thing git clone --depth=1 exists, but...

Would it be possible to use git rebase -i to edit those olds commit, removing the binary files, and force-pushing the results back?

So far this project has only 2 forks (publicly, and here on GH at least), so that's only 2 people that will need to basically "re-clone" our forks. Better now than later, I think.
