Of the mysql tarball (23Mb to start), a full 40% belongs to the testcases and the documentation that they ship. Another 8% for the modified copy of BerkDB that they ship, and only then do we start getting really useful things. 12% for the things unique to the server, and thereafter everything else is common or client-only.
Thanks for those numbers! So a server flag won't do much for dl in this case, only for build time (and it'd install less unwanted stuff, particularly in /etc). I guess MySQL isn't the poster child for the need of a server flag, then :-).
