I just wondered why the binary had to be 6MB big when the 3.1 was only 
around 1MB. I see now this comes mainly from the '-static' flag for the 
compiler. Without it is only around 1.5MB. Also the 6MB can be reduced to 
about 3MB when using '-static -s'. 

Am I wrong or would the binary (with '-static' compilation) get smaller 
when you remove support for vga and svga?
