Thanks, Adam.
Is this roughly the same on all relevant platforms for DMD?
I was thinking [hoping?] that maybe this was a problem vis-a-vis
the Mac OS X linker, i.e. a situation such that the linker isn`t
dropping anything from the referenced libraries, even when the
majority of the stuff in those library files is not being used in
the currently-being-linked object file.
BTW: using "strip" [no special options] on the executable
produces a steep drop in the length of the "nm" output, but only
a small change in actual size:
> ls -l foo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Abe wheel 469112 Aug 31 19:08 foo
> nm foo | wc -l
1263
