If he needs cookies then he needs networking.  

Anyone can take out the tcp stuff, it would just take time.  A combo of
not initializing the wattcp code (in LYCurses.c?) and a forced -localhost
are a good start.  To reduce the size of the binary, compile without
libtcp.a and the .h files and make a .h file with just void macros for
anything the compiler whines about.
