Sorry, I meant EXCLUDING the 'hello world' part.i.e. a program that (literally) does nothing should not require anything except argument-parsing, which can be done through msvcrt.dll's __wgetmainargs(). So really, it should hardly need any code at all.
I know it shouldn't. But currently you still have to statically link the runtime, gc, etc. even in an empty program:
