:D
Here's my cantrip:
[lemur ~]# rpm -qa flux* --queryformat "%{size}\n"|awk '{SUM+=$0}END {printf "SIZE:
%6.2fM\n", SUM/(1024*1024)}'
SIZE:   2.29M

Just to throw my two cents in...
It would be great if even the dependencies could be lessened. I'm often building on
low space machines (5G disks and even 1G USB sticks). Some time ago I tried removing
some unused packages but the cross-dependencies made it almost all or nothing. For
example, currently to install emacs I need to pull in Xaw3d and emacs-common, which
is 12M. vim-minimal is much smaller.

(Wow, it's weird that as soon as this emacs thread started, Seagate stock has been
volatile. Coincidence?)
