I added patches to my xorp.ct tree that disables CLICK by default,
(scons enable_click=yes turns it back on).

I also compiled out the table/route get/set logic that wasn't being used
for particular platforms.

All together, this decreased on-disk size by about 300k.

I compile every protocol, and my entire tree is under 18MB, so I imagine you
can cut it down quite a bit.

We could probably do other patches to selectively disable the rest of the protocols
to allow more options for building.
