Well, yes Delphi has a smart, optimizing compiler, but when you need Windows 
code and some of that stuff, you still may end up with some code that is net 
obsolutely required. My point was that you could make straight API calls or 
pull into your source only what you really needed and probably get it even 
tighter.
