Win32.  We're still investigating, but building the same code with DMD 
1.0 gives us a HelloWorld EXE of 90,652 bytes.  With 1.005 the same code 
gives us a HelloWorld EXE of 113,180 bytes.  I have yet to try 1.006 but 
reports indicate that the size is roughly the same as 1.005.  I think no 
one simply noticed this until 1.006 experimentation began today.  If I 
had to hazard a guess, I'd say most of the size change is probably a 
result of the TypeInfo changes post-1.0, but it will take a while to dig 
through object files to sort all this out.
