When I distribute a binary-only distribution of Postgre to a client, can
I exclude some parts of Postgres (to make it smaller), e.g.
documentation (all of doc/), some PL's, or even psql, initdb, pg_dump,
etc.?

The general rule of thumb for PostgreSQL licensing is "as long as you
don't sue any of the pgsql folks, you can do what you want."
