Thanks all, in this case I will have to explore other venues. But I do ask for recommendations, like is there any *small* foot print GRE I can distribute with my code? Size is paramount in my case, especially when I used to distribute zero bytes of GRE....
I do understand stripped down version means limited functionality (and I haven't stated what I need) but I am wondering if I can even pick and choose stuff that I need and ditch the rest, etc etc (you get the idea...) To be honest, I am suprised that statically linking GRE reduces Firefox's size that much. I would imagine what's saved are mostly IPC code....
