dmd 1.030 build small execute file size on windows.


I use bud build the dwt.lib. then use "dmd -L+dwt.lib" build the execute
file. it is much fast then other ways.

the problem is , execute file size  is become very big since dmd 1.41 .
I try dwt-win and dwt Shawn Liu ,  the  execute file size  is both grow big.

I try dmd 1.035 to dmd 1.041, the  execute file size  is similar,  build
Snippet38 the size is 850kb.

I try dmd 1.041 to dmd1052,  the file size is 1.7M。

my os is Window XP.

I use " bud all.d -clean -full -allobj -ofdwt -release -O -I../ -lib " to
build dwt.lib.


I use " dmd1040 Snippet38.d  -IE:\dmd\gui\dwt1
-L+advapi32_dwt.lib+gdi32_dwt.lib+comctl32_dwt.lib+comdlg32.lib+imm32_dwt.lib+kernel32_dwt.lib+msimg32_dwt.lib+ole32_dwt.lib+oleacc_dwt.lib+oleaut32_dwt.lib+olepro32_dwt.lib+shell32_dwt.lib+user32_dwt.lib+usp10_dwt.lib+version_dwt.lib+uuid.lib+dwt.lib
-L/SUBSYSTEM:windows:4 " to build Snippet38 .

I spent a lot of time on this issue,  and post some mail to newsgroup.
may be because my poor english, no body reply.
