Well the .spec files for the minimal install cd gives you quite a few
clues.

You might also take a look at the build system for ipcop, it is built
using LFS coupled with its own make files. IIRC it includes in the build
system a list of files that will be installed on the target system. The
build system source code is only in the order of 1 MB I think (Naturally
it downloads a lot of other sources to actually build, but you don't
need to do that to look at the target file list.
