+i'm always up for lowering the minimum install.
+
+a while ago, i did some work on that, but they are not easy.
+
+in particular the X libs are pretty difficult to get out.
+
+some of it is due to some drak tools being required by stuff and requiring some 
+other stuff.
+
+it does mean that for instance some code will need to have some functions 
+split off into another class or something... iinm (but this is all quite a 
+while back, i'd need to check more on that)
