how can I reduce binary size of sshd?

[Vikas Dewan]

Yes, I mean both ssl & ssh, I took out rsa, idea and rc5 from crypto ssl. SSHv1 and X11 code from openSSH, but I am thriving for more, without impacting most of ssh clients.
Also studying the impact of taking out x509 certification stuff. Any idea?

this is purely speculation, but you could probably eliminate quite a bit by
taking out unneeded algorithms from openssl?  i have no idea what it'd
break, if anything...
