That's pretty much all you can do without touching the source code. I want to
make it possible to shut off specific protocols in the future (with configure
switches), but that is not currently possible.

If file size is a matter, make sure you optimize for size (compiler-wise) and
that you 'strip' the final executable.

If that is not enough, editing the source code to add #ifdef USE_HTTP (or
something) on a few suitable places could probably decrease the output size
considerably.
