If you strip out all of the test harnesses and non essential classes
Jetty fits into a 136K jar file, including 49K of the javax.servlet classes
Still a bit big, and I think all our recent optimizations have given us a
bit of code bloat.

However, it should be possible to reduce this fairly significantly
by:
  + Taking out unused handlers (proxy, forward, filter, ???)
  + Removing TestHarnesses from some of the classes.
  + looking at the big classes

Over the next few releases I'll try to Jetty on a bit of a diet and
eventually include a method of creating a minimal jar with the release.

If anybody is hanging out for a much reduced Jetty, give me a yell
and I'll try to accelerate this.
