One of the bigger ones these days is librpc/gen_ndr, the rpc marshalling code. This is repeated in many binaries and could probably be put in a shared library if the executable size is really important. I think that's the lowest-hanging fruit (which tends to grow with later releases :-)). Patches welcome :-) Volker
