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? --Joel
