I know. If it would someone had done before :-)
It more a wish than a real expectation.

Is somewhere a todo list how going on when trying to add eg. NO_PPP?

Maybe:
update your source to current
check directories belong to <eg. ppp>
patch Makefile(s)
save patches
buildworld
reboot to single user mode
rm usr/bin usr/lib usr/sbin /usr/libexec
make installworld

Are there any tests for the world available? If not, maybe a good point 
starting is writing a test suite which checks working of each not 
deselected world-component as good as it get's.

Regards,
Jens
