When I first started out on Python for CE I did a draconian
build that scrapped all but the most utterly essential builtin
modules (I think I only kept sys and strop, in fact). As I 
recall, the python15.dll that popped out was 250K-ish. As you
pointed out though, hitting the size target doesn't help much 
if what's left is too minimal to solve your problem...
