There was discussion a while back about building a minimal lynx,
mostly with the intent of using it for anonymous accounts on
limited-resource machines.
Well, not linking in LYUpload.o, LYLocal.o, LYCgi.o, LYDownload.o,
LYNews.o, LYMail.o, LYJump.o and LYTraversal.o reduces the lynx
image about 9% (from 663552 to 606208 compiling on sun4 with gcc).
The bottom line is, though, that it would hardly be worth it because
of the difficulty of _selectively_ removing portions of LYDownload.o
and LYTraversal.o, which are probably the biggest gainers. These
two have to be very carefully ifdefed out to prevent introducing bugs.
It means that even a 9% reduction might not be possible if the goal
is to have all desired functions working properly.
