Try to simple do "strip xxx.exe" on the commandline

Ok something I just did was:
Copy ldw.exe from the \dev-pascal\bin directory over to ld.exe in the 1.9.6
compiler (rename ldw to ld)
Now program is only 440kb .. hmm
Some more testing I will do with 2.0 release.

I think that LD didn't get the UPX.. hehe

Alright, main problems solved with a simple upgrade.
Same project only 216 KB with the 2.0.0 compiler set up in lazarus
Project/compiler options/compiler tab.
Now it's time to stop playing around with toy Exes and get back to my linux
Elves .
