I now have GB's of RAM and most times I have no shortage of physical memory; I have more than enough to run all my small, statically compiled programs in their own memory space. Wh…

Example that comes to mind is libcurl. How many of the functions in the third party library are actually used in the program? What if some names conflicts with the name of a system…
