How much RAM is in the embedded system?  With tuning if various buffer
sizes and thread counts, the amount of RAM used on a client could be
reduced substantially (at some cost in performance), depending on just
how tight the RAM is.  Also, it would likely be possible to shrink
the code in a number of ways by adding #ifdefs for different functionality
you might not need:

- disable flock
- disable quotas
- disable O_DIRECT and associated IO path
- make no-op debugging macros

We'd likely accept patches to make these configure options if it is
done cleanly.

Cheers, Andreas
