This is not exactly true. First of all, the packages are compiled 
static, not linked in the vfs. This means that they cannot be removed.

What, however, can be removed is the iwidgets library in the vfs. To 
save some space, it should be unwrapped, the executable should be 
stripped from the vfs layer, and wrapped again. This should save about 
200kB without recompiling everything.

I'm only guessing that stripping the vfs layer would require finding the 
beginning of vfs layer, probably something like this should work (I'm 
just improvising now :-):

set binary ./dqkit.exe
set fh [open $binary r]; fconfigure $fh -translation binary
set fc [read $fh]; close $fh

regsub "LJ.{4,10}<root>.*\$" $fc "" fc

set fh [open $binary w]; fconfigure $fh -translation binary
puts -nonewline $fh $fc; close $fh
