I haven't tried to get down to a minimal set, but all DLLs in MIT's
bin directory total at about 3.3 MB, the largest of which is
mfc71.dll at almost 1 MB.  

If you don't want to include MIT Krb5 libraries, it'd still be nice
to include the GSSAPI module, so someone who wants MIT could arrange for
the libraries to be loadable by copying them into TortoiseSVN's bin
directory or by putting them in a directory listed in PATH.

I build Cyrus SASL 2.1.22 following their win32 build notes.  I
enabled GSSAPI by setting 

	GSSAPI=CyberSafe
	GSSAPI_INCLUDE=\path\to\mit\kerberos\inc\krb5
	GSSAPI_LIBPATH=\path\to\mit\kerberos\lib\i386

on the nmake command line (in addition to the settings for DB),
etc.  The whole thing for me looked something like this:

nmake -f NTMakefile
DB_INCLUDE=z:\cellname.com\user\ajk\cyrus-sasl\db-4.3.28\build_win32
DB_LIBPATH=z:\cellname.com\user\ajk\cyrus-sasl\db-4.3.28\build_win32\Release
GSSAPI=CyberSafe GSSAPI_INCLUDE=c:\Progra~1\Mit\Kerberos\inc\krb5
GSSAPI_LIBPATH=c:\Progra~1\Mit\Kerberos\lib\i386 DB_LIB=libdb43.lib
CFG=Release
