Hey there.
I built sdl under cygwin, and the resulting dll is a whopping 1.58 megs
(compared to the end user distribution of 1.2.1 thats 210k). Don’t suppose
there’s any magic that can be done to deflate the file a tad? STRIP or UPX
perhaps??–

Ok, it seems I answered my own question. STRIP cut it down to 223k, and UPX
doesn’t do anything for DLL’s.

Yes, it does.

Forty percent of the original size doesn’t sound too bad
