Gotcha, then hacks are necessary to do it that way.

There is a way to remove actions/filters, but it only works in the
context of a normal hook. Just to test I tried this from a plugin:

remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_list_cats');

function wp_list_cats()
{
	return;
}

And got the error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wp_list_cats()

It doesn't seem there is a plugin hook that happens 'early' enough to
catch the loading of the other files. If anyone has any ideas about
this, please speak up!
