Not at the moment.  

Skipping the new binaries shouldn't be hard, but skipping the libraries
only then depend on will be a little trickier.  

If possible I would prefer to avoid having to mark every subsystem as to
being a 'file server only' or 'full Samba 4.0', but if we cannot
automate it, I guess this can be done. 

We should however not box ourselves in - it should be a tool to avoid
installation of unused code only, not another dividing line between
parts of the codebase.
