RE: [Dev-C++] a small comparison

[Rob <ro...@us...>]

Ahh, I've just learned my way around MSVC++ a bit better now! Oddly enough,
the difference in executable size between debug and release mode was never
covered in any of my classes.

The release mode version of the executable is down to 164 KB, which is still
a healthy bit larger than the one generated with Dev-C++, but not nearly as
bad as the original version.
