I'm trying to make the smallest possible Qt binaries with no luck. It turns out that the release versions of QtCore4 is ~1.5MB and QtGui4 ~6MB. You may ask why do you even worry about the size in this era of broadband and cheap storage but I still need to consider slower connection speeds and would like to make the total download size including my application to ~10-12MB.
Considering the fact that MFC DLL(mfc71.dll) is only 1 MB, Qt binaries look to be too big. I'm using these options to build Qt
Code:
qconfigure msvc2005 -debug-and-release -no-qt3support -no-stl -plugin-sql-sqlite -no-mmx -no-3dnow -no-sse -no-sse2 -no-qdbus -no-style-motif -no-style-cde

I would like to take the shared library approach but if Qt static options can make the binaries smaller, I can switch to the static approach.
Thanks in advance on any tips to make the Qt binaries smaller.
