There are no required utilities from the bin directory; and this X server
has a dozen or so fonts built right into the executable as well as having
support for reading bitmap fonts or contacting an external font server.
I believe we'll have a complete X system well under 1meg. I've got
additional ideas about shrinking the server even further; perhaps another
100k or so. If we eliminate unused rendering garbage from the server,
we'll trim another 100k (scary, isn't it...). That would make the server
not conform to the spec, but there are no widelines in a modern UI.
