Well, the current version fits into 64K of perl, so it should be possible
to make it fit into 20K of compiled binary; bear in mind however that
Zigzag currently makes extensive use of some of perl's advanced facilities
(notably hashes) so a library with similar functionality would have to
be linked in.
