- Woops, the code sizes of the two versions are roughly the same. The original
- XFree86 release did not strip the server and was therefore 11 MB.

- My understanding of Unix is that when a program is run, the symbols are not
- loaded. Therefore, they are not contributing to memory/swap space usage.

- when they get there :-))
