I compiled openVRML with both Cygwin and MinGW and tried to strip it,
with similar failures. I also think I would have to make some major changes
to the Makefile to compile it with the Visual C++ compiler, and as I
am usually developing with MinGW, I would prefer to avoid this
opportunity. So are there any other options for me to make the library
smaller or do I have to get used to this?
