Node.JS: Removing unnecessary MongoDB files

I have written a Node.JS application that I will have to ship soon, in the form of an RPM (RedHat Package Manager), with everything included (Node, CSS, JS, MongoDB, Node modules, etc.) The total application weights about 60MB compressed, of which about 50MB comes from MongoDB. I would like to reduce the size of the final shipment.

Now, as far as I'm concerned, my Node.JS application only explicitly executes mongod. Looking at the mongodb-linux-i686-2.2.2/bin directory I see about a dozen executables, most of which weight 10.3MB (that's a little curious that so many weight 10.3MB), such as bsondump, mongodump, mongoexport, mongofiles, mongoimport, etc.

Which MongoDB executables are being run under the hood in my "standard" (single database, no sharding, nothing fancy) Node.JS application? Which can I remove for the final shipment?

Only mongod would be required in that scenario.

It might not be legal to create your own distribution of the MongoDB server. See http://www.mongodb.org/about/licensing/ and I would also ask http://www.10gen.com directly for clarification.
