It's not possible to export ctools exporables easily without features.

With the following drush command

drush php-script ../ctools.drush.inc > export.blob.txt

and script file ../ctools.drush.inc

ctools_include('export');
$schemas = ctools_export_get_schemas(TRUE);
$exportables = $export_tables = array();

foreach ($schemas as $table => $schema) {
  if (!empty($schema['export']['list callback']) && function_exists($schema['export']['list callback'])) {
    $exportables[$table] = $schema['export']['list callback']();
  }
  else {
  $exportables[$table] = ctools_export_default_list($table, $schema);
  }
  natcasesort($exportables[$table]);
  $export_tables[$table] = $schema['module'];
}
//print_r($schemas);
//print_r($exportables);
//print_r($export_tables);
echo "===================\n";
//print_r(array_keys($schemas));
foreach ($exportables as $exportable => $exportable_items) {
  $names = array_keys( $exportable_items);
  if (!empty($names)) {
    $code = array();
    $table = $exportable;// $export_tables[$exportable];
    ctools_export_to_hook_code(&$code, $table, $names);
    print_r( $code);
  }
}

we can stuff code into a vcs. This needs some work like sorting of $schema and $names to have a better grasp of changing stuff.
