Not true, XORP is 22MB of binary for a full feature set on 64-bit x86, 
if you build the SVN version with shared library support and stripped 
binaries.

These are the defaults for the FreeBSD package.

We need a volunteer to package XORP for Ubuntu/Fedora/CentOS.

We don't support this use. It is technically possible, but it's not 
something that we support or encourage, as we are unable to help with 
Quagga issues in this forum.

Sure, if you hack the SConscripts to only build the required components.

Are you building with shared library support?
