Thanks, the file is static1.ml and is around 63MB (personal site is around 
47MB).  This will only grow as I add more content/images.

Now for my next question.  Can I do this without having to produce my own 
makefile or changes to the config.ml file? 

<after a brief IRC exchange in #mirage>

The answer is:
FS=fat mirage configure --unix

That sets the environment for the command and means I can get what I want 
without messing with other files.
I thought I'd send this anyway since it might be useful.

Amir :)
