New description:

 Uncompressed, the Tor executable and associated libs as bundled in Tor
 Browser is 7.7 MB. If we want other browsers to adopt Tor, it would be
 good to make it a lot smaller if possible. What is responsible for the
 bulk? Can we cut out unused code from libcrypto and other libraries? Or
 can we reuse some shared libraries from the browser? Would it help to chop
 out unused code that implements relays, hidden services, etc.?
