First off.. if you don't want the bbkeys icon, use the -i command. Second, the
nice thing about having bbkeys separate from bb is to keep bb from getting
bloated... The operating system has a MUCH easier time dealing with two
programs (who's total memory add up to < 3mb) than one 3mb program. Where you
can really get a boost, is when you don't use bbkeys at all... Personally I
like that fact that bb is broken up like this. It gives bb a "modular" feel,
and ensures that it will only get as big as you want it (by running all of the
tools).
