There's not much to do but getting more memory (i.e., more swap,
compiling on a machine with more memory).  html-tags is really horrible.
It's a relatively small macro that defines a lot of procedures.

Yes, it is possible.  In fact, it's even implemented, if I remember
correctly.  See the sxml-only branch
(https://github.com/mario-goulart/awful/tree/sxml-only).

If you use this branch, please provide feedback.  I intend to make the
next awful release based on it, if it proves stable enough.

All the best.
Mario
