This was actually one of the reasons I was experimenting with "BusyELKS" since it would minimize the number of copies of statically linked code on disk. The downside is that the size of the programs overall would increase, but it wouldn't require new logic to support sort-of-shared libraries.

There are a lot of programs that were directly ripped out of the sash code base and can easily share code between them since they used to be one big code unit originally. I see a lot of potential for combining the smaller tools and sharing code between them. Perhaps I should revisit that concept...?
