Description:
As nginx 1.11 begins, the officials introduced dynamic module loading, which can drastically decrease the default compiled package to a minimal overhead.
There are already plenty of AUR packages providing the dynamic modules for use, maybe we can utilize them instead?

Additional info:
* package version(s)
1.11.4-1

* config and/or log files etc.
