Hi John,

I had in mind that the 'gm2/gm2-libs-min' library would be updated to
include empty stubs (if absolutely necessary).  It might also be
necessary to include another command line switch to disable code
generation of exceptions.  However before these changes are made it
would be interesting to see the amount of extra code used when linking
an otherwise null project,

regards,
