To help you on your way of minimizing modules, here's some basic setup
that generally works (but you might miss some applications and
functions). The trickiest thing is that you need res_features,
otherwise you would get coredumps on boot. For me, Asterisk trimmed
down to this config loads in an eye blink.

; ---- start of modules ----
[modules]
autoload=no

; Used applications
load => app_dial.so
load => app_playback.so
load => app_read.so

; Channel drivers
; probably you don't need chan_local, but it's nice
load => chan_local.so
load => chan_sip.so

; Codecs
load => codec_gsm.so
load => codec_ulaw.so
load => codec_alaw.so
load => codec_a_mu.so

load => format_gsm.so
load => format_pcm.so

; PBX  - choose between AEL and .conf files
; load => pbx_config.so
load => pbx_ael.so
; use pbx_spool if you want to drop .call files
load => pbx_spool.so

; Functions
load => func_strings.so
load => func_rand.so
load => func_logic.so
load => func_cut.so
load => func_callerid.so

; Resources
; if you don't have agi, you may remove this
load => res_agi.so
load => res_musiconhold.so

; res_features is required by chan_sip
load => res_features.so

;------ end of modules
