If there is a clear consensus among the people who would want a
lite image as to what capabilities could be pruned, then it makes
sense to use a single ifdef switch.  Otherwise it may make more
sense to do a two-step process and first make sure that there is
a switch per feature that one would prune in one or more
situations, and then to define lite configurations based on
switch setting profiles.

Somewhere in the mists of time I recall discussion of libraries
and dynamic linking as memory savers.  Is this of any help in
your operating environment?

What is the performance equation you are fighting?  is it

  users = fixed_memory_size / (lynx_size + const.)

where the system gets unusable when there are more than 'users'
users on it?  How far short are you of meeting your needs?
