Considering that the needed frameworks for QGIS are 85MB out of 92  
(for all the frameworks I have so far), there isn't much space  
savings.  (these are uncompressed sizes)  So, the extras used by  
GRASS (often used with QGIS) and MapServer are pretty small.

I'll build QGIS with my frameworks, I probably would anyways, to make  
sure my frameworks are tuned up.  So you can grab it from my site if  
you need it.
