I would think just putting it in /usr/src/gnu with a preconfigured
system would be ok...  but...

it compiles out of the box from what I can tell.  Why not make that
optional and leave it as is?

A compiler I feel _is_ critical.  CVS is a tool, and should be
seperate.

ntp is critical,
sendmail is critical,
uucp is not for me but is more or less expected,
etc.  ;)
