It would be nice if there were a configuration option for a minimal install that left out (and didn't bother to compile) most of the plugins. Given enough disk space, sure, I'll install whirlpinch, but 55MB is more than I can afford on my school account. After removing occasionally useful but mostly frivolous scripts, patterns, and filters, and stripping the binary, the installed footprint dropped from 55MB to 7.5MB. Yay! I might be able to keep that installed for a while. It'd be swell if there were an option to build and install this way without lots of manual tweaking. Of course the hard part is deciding what should go in it. I could see the politics for that getting ugly if people wanted their stuff to be considered essential. Personally, I deleted every plugin except jpeg, pnm, png, xpm, blur, and despeckle. As a side bonus, it starts up *much* faster. :) Thanks for making it so easy to remove features!
