protobuf.js/dist/runtime

The minimal runtime includes just the bare minimum required to work with statically generated code - and nothing else. Where applicable, it can be used as a drop-in replacement for the full library as it has the same general structure. To achieve the same with browserify, simply depend on protobufjs/runtime instead of protobufjs.
