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)
