[tex-k] Problem with "mf" online display in GNOME

[Karl Berry]

    P.S. Is it possible to reduce the present build even more, to a bare
    minimum - just to get a working "mf" binary? (for example, how to exclude
    luatex and libicu builds?)

In essence, you have to --enable-web2c and then explicitly disable all
the unwanted "subpackages" (engines) under web2c.

Below is a command that disables everything (plus other debugging stuff
at the beginning which should be adjusted to taste) and then enables
mf. I have not actually this with mf, so maybe there are complications.

I hope to work out some new --enable or --disable to avoid having to
explicitly list all the web2c "subpackages", but I won't be able to
think about it for some time. --good luck, karl.
