I just checked in a very experimental[1] set of patches to libguestfs
git repo which allow you to build a so-called 'supermin (super-
minimized) appliance'.  The fact that it passes many of the API tests
is nothing short of remarkable.

To explain what this all means, read this:

[1] With any luck, nothing will be broken _unless_ you do:
  ./configure --enable-supermin
