Another snip to the code "--disable-news." This one is more ambitious,
and chops away at LYMain, LYMainLoop, and other code in the src/
directory. It's barely tested.

Since it's larger than the 2 before, the patch and new configure script
are not attached, but are located here:

"--disable-ftp" is feasible, but more useful to keep (IMHO).
