I know, that it should be but often doesn't. Look at your win directory and see how many dll versions of the same is there, e.g. vbrunxxx.dll, msvcrtx.dll and
the d3dxxxx.dll from latest DX9 with updates is the extreme...

If allegro would have smaller module granularity (more smaller .o files in library) then it probably will produce smaller EXE because linker will not link all unused .o when no function(s) are referended there.
