Much of the IDL compiler is written in Python. It requires all the .py
(and .pyc) files in omni\lib\python.

The vast majority of the space in the Windows binary distribution is
taken up with the debug versions of the libraries. If you are only
using non-debug application code, you can get rid of the debug
libraries. Remember that if you have debug application code, you
_must_ link with debug libraries.

Cheers,

Duncan.
