[opus] Opus library build for decode only?

[Amit Ashara]

Hello Ross

I am using static library on an eclipse based compiler. The size of the decoder ( minus the file io) is approximately 100kb. The linker removed the unused code when the option is set. Should be the case on gcc as well 

Regards
Amit Ashara
