Hmm... you're trying to implement a lot of features. I don't use 
typeinfos, and I got a lot working: IO, crypto, allocators, 
string switch, assert handlers. My minimal program is 5632 bytes 
(119 LOC) - reestablishes PPPoE connection when computer goes out 
of sleep. Another is 1k LOC authentication service (runtime 127 
LOC) and compiles to 23 KB.
