Not sure why you would want to do that, really.  That's like writing an 
application against libc which includes the relevant libc files, but not 
anything else.  Is there any specific reason you want to do this?

In any case, you would probably need more of Mozilla than you don't 
need.  You'd need pretty much all of xpcom/ almost all of nsprpub/ 
content/ layout/ widget/src/gtk2 gfx/src/gtk2 embedding/ docshell/ dom/ 
build/ caps/ editor/ intl/ netwerk/ rdf/ security/ view/ uriloader/ 
profile/ parser/ modules/ js/ etc. (I think I got everything, but may 
have missed a directory or two)

and at that point its more or less easier to just take the whole thing. 
 Maintaining just the files you want is going to be a lot of work.

When XULRunner/libgecko gets released, it might be slightly less files 
that will be distributed, but not by alot.
