APM board definition / Arduino Uno

I'm new to DIYDrones and have been poking around the ArduPilot-Mega code a bit, fetching the latest GIT repo contents. My project is to make an autonomous vehicle, but using a different board, the Arduino Uno. For the 3 RC channels, GPS, Sonar, and compass, the Uno has enough I/O pins for the task, but I'm not sure if it has enough SRAM and flash (2K and 32K respectively) for a usable AP engine.

What I would like to do is derive a minimal set of AP_* libraries necessary for my agv (no GCS, no telemetry), remap the board configuration, and just see if I can get this to fit on the Uno. Not necessarily work yet, but fit first.

One of the first things to do is define a board description/configuration for the Uno, but I've not seen what this entails yet. Can anybody describe or point me to any documentation that describes how this is done?
