[Haskell-cafe] Embedding the GHC API

[pepe]

Austin Seipp has written about this in his blog:

http://austin.youareinferior.net/?q=node/29

"I will take this time to point out that using the GHC API in your  
applications results in *large* executables. The Interact example  
above when compiled with vanilla --make options resulted in a whopping  
17mb executable. I've observed however you can mitigate this by an  
enormous amount using the tools strip and gzexe, taking it down to a  
light 2.5mb (a size reduction of about 85%)"

Cheers
