Robert, if you are extremely concerned about executable size then you
really should consider using another development platform/language
(which is .NET?). If you are creating a "rather large application" then
  5.6MB isn't very big at all.

I am like you in that I used to care about exe size and all that. I
don't anymore - especially since I started playing with .NET as it
produces rather large EXEs..
