Actually, sizeof(exe + dll) < sizeof(exe) + sizeof(dll) in most cases.

In a single exe, the unneeded things from the library are stripped out
by the linker.


As to the main subject, the size of D programs is something I would like
to see brought down - 300kb is a lot when transferring on dialup, but I
consider it the lowest of all the priorities I can think of. It isn't
/obscenely/ large.
