I have two thoughts on this.  The first I mentioned a couple of days ago, which
was modularizing the distinct features (like Captive Portal).  Make them like
plug-ins, or adjust the build tools so things not being used can be left out of
the image.

The other is actually executing off the CF binaries and using the RAM only for
buffers, swap space and data segments.  We could then add as much functionality
as you are willing to buy flash for (short of running enough programs
simultaneously to run out of swap).
