Two *binary* versions, that is...? That was what I was thinking 
anyway. (I think it would be a bad idea to fork the lib; there should 
only be one source tree, since this is just a configure option.)

./configure --disable-gif --disable-lbm --disable-pcx --disable-pnm 
--disable-tga --disable-xpm

make

(That includes BMP as well, but that just calls SDL anyway.)

Now, put the lib/so/DLL/whatever where you want it and link with it, 
or throw it into your binary distros.
