If you just use this one function from the glue library, you won't get
the whole library added to your application, just the code for the one
function. That's the nature of a static library -- only the code you
need is pulled into your link.
Try an experiment: see how your PRC file changes size between using
WinDrawTruncChars and WinGlueDrawTruncChars. I doubt it would have more
than 1K of difference.
