I think it's about time I gave back to this wonderful community.
I'm offering a $50 bounty on this.
(Preferably Bitcoins, but I'll use bountysource if desired.)
rules:
Has to be called -minimal
Has to fulfill Walter's original post. (listed below)
Has to split the separate parts into different flags as well as
-minimal(-nogc, -nomoduleinfo, etc. Naming is left to the
implementer).
This seems to be a good idea and has lots of support from the
community, would anyone like to chip in a few more bucks?
I haven't set the bounty yet, depends on if multiple people chip
in. I'll probably set it sometime tonight.
Let me know what y'all think, am I leaving anything out?
Thanks
