For the 3.2 Windows installation, you should be able to omit Doc, 
Lib/test, Lib/turtledemo, and Tools. Three of those are optional 
installs anyway. Lib/idlelib could almost certainly go if not running 
IDLE from the server (which would be unlikely). If not using tcl/tk, 
several files in DLLs, Lib, and libs and the tcl directory can go.

Translate as needed for *nix.
