All the .c32 files together in the 5.00-pre9 release amount to 150M. In
4.06 they're 105M. We're not talking about a huge increase here, since
you're unlikely to include *all* the .c32 modules.

We're not talking megabytes here. No file is over 736KB and that's
libcom32.c32, the biggest file in the release. New features are
obviously going to result in bigger object files.
