I'm working on a script which will survey the various build options
(NO_FOO, NO_BAR etc) and what their impact is on the installed system
footprint.
http://phk.freebsd.dk/misc/kernel_options/HTML/
The table shows size of the total installworld image, including
the GENERIC kernel.
Delta is the number of blocks compared to a full installworld, and
no, I'm not quite sure yet why some of them take more space.
Number of extra files and number of eliminated files (these link
to a "mtree -f -f" output file so you can see which they were.
When done chewing, all the options will be tested for their effect
during "installworld only", "buildworld only" and "build+installworld"
usage.
When completed, this script will end up under src/tools/tools

PS: Interestingly, this survey has theological implications as well
as it proves the long held belief that C++ is evil: The NO_CXX
option which prevents the installation of this evilness eliminates
exactly 666 files :-)
