Actually, I had intended to minimise the tarball size since before 4.0, but 
only noticed it failed when confirming the files were there for you.

Future releases will include only:
    ccan/{build_assert,cast,compiler,opt,typesafe_cb}
    licenses/{CC0,GPL-3,LGPL-2.1}

It is also safe to delete anything other than these in the current releases.
