Thomas Bonfort recently contributed patches for Unix builds in GDAL master to 
produce a minimal GDAL.
For the raster side (frmts/ subdirectory), the following drivers are required: 
derived gtiff hfa mem vrt. All others can be disabled
For the vector side (ogr/ogrsf_frmts/ subdirectory), the following drivers are 
required: generic geojson kml mem mitab vrt. All others can be disabled
With some tweaking of the Windows makefiles, you could likely get the same 
result.
