If you compile from source, you have to possibilities:
- the inst-apps file, where you list the CVS directories that you have 
checkout (of course, in your case, you can use these feature to compile only 
a few directories.) This is a positive ist.
- the DO_NOT_COMPILE environement variable (to be set before configure) This 
is a negative list.

Please note: when I write "directory" above,it is only valid for top 
directories, like koffice/kword,, koffice/kspread but not for something like 
koffice/filters/kword.

For example for KOffice 1.2:
DO_NOT_COMPILE="kivio kontour" ./configure

You might get problems that you need certain directories, despite that you do 
not need the program inside. I had clear it for KOffice CVS HEAD but KOffice 
1.2.x should still have these problems.

Have a nice day/evening/night!
