I agree.  Assuming that the size of these things is comparable on
Windows and Debian, the added size doesn't seem particularly daunting:

address@hidden ~]$ ls -lh /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.26.14.12 
src/emacs/trunk/src/emacs /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.7.8              
-rwxr-xr-x 3 larsi larsi  19M Jan  3 20:41 src/emacs/trunk/src/emacs
-rw-r--r-- 1 root  root  654K Mar 20  2010 /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.26.14.12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root  root  1.4M Jun  4  2011 /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.7.8

And the .elc files seem to take a further 38MB, if I wc correctly.
