Is libgcj.dll + my.exe < my.exe ?
In my case, I would choose to distribute the libgcj.dll and my .exe
together, to avoid version issues.
(My assumption is that libgcj.dll is a shared dll for all those
pieces that are normally bundled into the .exe file.)
W.r.t. reducing size, I can shave off 30% of the download size
as soon as I get the -Os option working.
Sizes come in many flavours :-)
- disk size
- download size
- memory size
- preceived size. Part of the size problem is preceived, i.e.
someone might draw conclusions about how big the download size
would be, based upon inspection of the .exe file size.
