maybe that's what _you_ mean when you talk about code bloat, but it's
certainly not the only thing that makes code get needlesly bigger. i
think generally people (myself, certainly) are refering to the writing
of the code itself, asside from how it's organized or built. take a
look at bash, for example. i don't care how you link it; that's still
bloated. shared libraries won't solve problems of bad programing.
