Yes well we might have some fat trimming to do first.  Our footprint
(both runtime and exectable size) are a little on the big size ...
we might be smaller than others, but we aren't _that_ much smaller =;-)
Adding in things like STL and additional libraries (ie this psion 
library) doesn't help either.

Has anyone given any thought to us using the Netscape Portable Runtime
thingy so that we could make our importers/exporters work as plugins
rather than having them bound directly into the executable.  Never having
written an importer or an exporter (though I'm tempted to look at a 
writing a WordPerfect one) how solid is our API and what are other 
people's thoughts on this?
