Sorry, you can't.  Conio functions are all tightly interconnected and are
all defined on a single source file.  If you only need to set the cursor
position, use the `ScreenSetCursor' library function instead of `gotoxy',
which will only link in that single function (which `gotoxy' calls
internally).  OTOH, if you really need the rest of conio functions, you
usually need most of them anyway.
