22mbytes is still a lot of "etc.". i've no objection
to optimisations big and small, but that still wouldn't explain
the size (to me).  FORTRAN H Enhanced did so much with so little!
if they combine every language and every target
into one executable -- a "busybox" for compilers i suppose --
that might plump it up, but even then ... seriously, i'm just astounded.
