trunk images too large for WR703n #10

The radio profile fits (barely) into the 703n using OpenWrt Chaos Calmer. It does not fit anymore using OpenWrt snapshot.

I would have hoped for musl-based trunk to generate smaller, not larger, images. Oh well.

The following set of packages gets installed:

Could the kernel be trimmed down using http://elinux.org/Kernel_Size_Tuning_Guide?
