Hello, I'm newbie. I have been switched to 2.056 from 2.054 (I've been 
deleted its distro, so can't test it) and see that .exe file after 
compilation of Hello World now is about 1Mb! I tried with D1 and got 
~300Kb. Is it a bug in the 2.056 version?
PS. I compiled with:
dmd hello.d -release -d
   and
dmd hello.d
   always is about 1Mb
For example, my simple command line tool is compiled into 2Mb .exe file!
