Perhaps a tangent - but I noticed recently just how small you can go 
with stack size if you use a class for your variable store versus the 
typical:

procedure something;
var
   variablehere: ansistring;
begin
end;

by doing something like:

type Tmyclass=class
   somefield: ansistring;
   someint: longint;
   someword: word;
   constructor create;
   destructor destroy;
end;

...assume you get the drift... about writing the obvious stuff - 
constructor and destructor etc how you want...

but then:

procedure something;
var
   MyClass: Tmyclass;
begin
    MyClass:=TMyClass.create;

    ...whatever here...

    MyClass.Destroy;MyClass:=nil;
end;

I know this might be a little of a tangent - but I too had the need to 
make one routine in particular use a tiny stack and this was how I 
managed to get it done.
