Is this really still a problem these days?  Most Unix programs in any
language, linked statically, consume several megabytes, if not a lot
more.  Typical C++ object code weighs in the tons.  On the other
hand, the Scheme 48 VM plus the entire initial image (containing the
RTS) is less than 1.5 Megs.  MzScheme is even less, I think.

Is dynamic linking not an option?
