-As I don't yet care for binary size and target mainly at
-producing a shared library, wxWindows's configure system auto-
-matically enables all features, as long as they are already
-implemented. It is currently NOT possible to disable these
-options (in contrast to what configure tells you).
+When producing an executable that is linked statically with wxGTK
+you'll be surprised at its immense size. This can sometimes be
+drastically reduced by removing features from wxWindows that
+are not used in your program. The most relevant such features
+are
+
+ --without-libpng Disables PNG image format code.
+
+ --without-libjpeg Disables JPEG image format code.
+
+ --without-odbc Disables ODBC code.
+
+ --without-wxresources Disables the use of *.wxr type
+ resources.
+
+ --without-threads Disables threads.
+
+ --without-sockets Disables sockets.
+
+ --without-dnd Disables Drag'n'Drop.
+
+ --without-clipboard Disables Clipboard.
+
+ --without-serial Disables object instance serialiasation.
+
+ --without-streams Disables the wxStream classes.
+
+Apart from disabling certain features you can very often "strip"
+the program of its debugging information resulting in a significant
+reduction in size.
