On such a system, removing unneeded modules is trivial: just don't
compile them (and comment-out the relevant lines in config.c).

For people who want super-small packages of Python2.4, it would
be possible to create a separate python24.dll, which is plug-in
compatible except that it has fewer modules built-in. If there is
a real need for such a thing, somebody will provide regardless
of whether the standard distribution provides it.
