I'd like to hear your comments about the 32-bit D2 and minimal executables issue. If I use dietlibc and gcc, the minimal (static) binary is about 0.2 kilobytes. DMD should have some switch (-embedded) which leaves out all the cruft I don't need. I'd like to use the cool new features and start with this kind of minimal executables. 0.5 - 50 kilobyte range is optimal.
