I build dwt-win & dwtx with dmd 1.053 & tango trunk on win32 .
 the execute file size is huge.

I build  dwt-samples\jface.text\Simple.d, the execute file size is
24051kb, the file has 21733kb binary value is 0xff & 0x00,  after upx
compress the file size is 1034kb.

 I want to know is the optlink bring this issue ?
 The new version of optlink will fix it?
 About how long the new optlink be useful?

thank you for he tip.

the file size is still big with xfbuild or bud,  build dwtx.jface.text
will gen a float exe file.
the exe file can be compress  to 5% size.  when it run cost 29M memroy
even i already use upx compress  it .
I think there is some issue inside dmd or optlink.
the dwt is great lib, but had not get enough attention from Walter.
if we make a Product Level DWT  lib,  Will attract a lot of
programmers even without a IDE.

xfbuild reduce the file size to 14M, cost memory to 20M.
compressed  size is 1M.
