A simple hello world like dfl application takes 1.2mb. Upx does a

optlink generate smaller executables?
I couldn't find a way to get help on the numerous options in optlink,
and the help page at digitalmars doesn't list them either.
I've noticed around two times smaller exes when linked with unilink. So
if you don't like packing you may try it:
ftp://ftp.styx.cabel.net/pub/UniLink/ulnb0319.zip
<ftp://ftp.styx.cabel.net/pub/UniLink/>
just make sure you configured it correctly (should be straightforward,
there are examples)
I don't work on Windows, but I've heard optlink generates debug info and unilink
doesn't, so that might be the reason?
Even with -O -release? I added -L/NODEBUG and -L/DEBUG, but it seems dmd
overrides this with it's switches.
