Hello Bill,
I think the build time of dwt apps is a much bigger issue right now
than the size of exes. The size of exes can be reduced using hacks
like upx, but there is no fix for the long build times as far as I
know.

Totally agree. The size is just an annoyance. But currently the build
times are pretty bad. Recently, I've been frustrating over this
especially while working on the Browser port. Everytime I want to test
a fix, I have to recompile... which takes ages. This seems to be partly
due to the dsss dependency (recent version is sloooow). I've been
thinking of adding some sort of shell script or "make" file to see if
this can be improved... at least for sanities' sake. :-(

Naturally, for some of us, .exe size is more important. Specifically,
for those of us building software that will be downloaded by users at home.
But then again, I always build GUIs using native libraries--WTL on Win32
and Objective-C on Mac--so I'm likely not a DWT customer anyway.
