Qt for embedded platforms has the concept of "features" which let you remove
things you don't need. PyQt doesn't know about all of these, though it does
have a similar system for declaring what should be included in the bindings.

Some approximate library sizes for the upcoming Qt release can be found here:

Earlier versions obviously contained fewer classes, so the library sizes were
smaller, especially for "normal" builds.

Maybe there's more memory to play with. :-)
