By default (to make it simple) Klone imports the whole directory but 
you can tweak the list of files imported using the KLONE_IMPORT_ARGS 
variable in the top-level Makefile (the same way you did to exclude CVS 
files and directories adding a -x "file_pattern").

This exclude all backup stuff and "old" files:

KLONE_IMPORT_ARGS = -v -x '*/backup/*' -x '*.old'

Dynamic libraries overhead in term of bytes should be very low, but 
images are imported *as is* because Klone doesn't even try to compress 
already compressed images (you can force compression on any file using 
the -Z "pattern" flag inthe KLONE_IMPORT_ARGS var).

For example if you remove all images from your current configuration 
you should get a kloned file 202KB big. BTW do you really use kl_bg.png 
file? :-)
