Now that I've been told the idea is at least possible, I've been
thinking about how to generate a micro-minimal mkiv distribution: no
fonts except the LM set, no engines except luaTeX, no kpathsea, &
preferably no external dependencies (perl, ruby, &c.).

So how to best go about this?  I'm downloading the current minimals
(or should I use the .zips at
<http://www.pragma-ade.nl/download-1.htm>?); what can I cut out?
