generally i agree with Erick, but web2c is the exeption
from the rule. it's at most a collection of nearly unrelated
source packages which even configures independently.
so my hint is: remove all and everything you do not need to
compile your package (but look out for copyright restrictions of
course! there might be even different copyrights apply for the
different parts of the web2c collection.)
