 Uncompressed, the Tor executable and associated libs as bundled in Tor
 Browser is 7.7 MB. If we want other browser to adopt Tor, it would be good
 to make it a lot smaller if possible. What is responsible for the bulk?
 Can we cut out unused code from libcrypto and other libraries? Or can we
 reuse some shared libraries from the browser? Would it help to we chop out
 unused code that implements relays, hidden services, etc.?
