The compiler compiles all. The linker links in only what you use. The
exception is the initialization/finalization. If a unit is in the uses
clause, its initilization and finalization will be executed, regardless. I
actively trim them down, it speeds up compiling, makes a smaller map file
and highlights circular references.
