The GC, the compiler runtime, and some essential standard library code 
(thread support and exceptions, basically).  In Tango, these three 
components have no external compile-time dependencies and can actually 
be developed and built as separate standalone libraries.  Tango 
originally shipped this way, but it turned out to be too much for the 
average programmer so everything is now re-bundled into a single library 
for convenience (though the old standalone libraries are still built and 
then simply discarded).
