I just loaded up Visual C++ v6.-something as part of the latest development tool
set for Windows, and a colleague who has already test-driven it, indicates that
the first exercise, a "Hello World" thing, includes two runtime libraries, one
that's 143KB in size and one that's !36KB in size. It may be possible to make
things smaller, but this exercise apparently doesn't.

Even today's compilers demand several hundred

Tell me you're just making that up. Prove it.
