With the current code in SVN compiling with debug="on" increases the jar
size by 34% (1,279 KB --> 1,717 KB). Have heard folks comment in the past
about how large they find the existing jars. Can't please everyone, and not
planning to rock the boat now. As I pointed out before you can always
recompile.

Thanks.
