Actually I was thinking more about disk footprint. Andrew's comment is
correct if you work with statically linked code where the compiler pulls
out only the needed .o files from a .a library, but that's pretty out of
fashion these days. Most people are dealing with a monolithic libpq.so
and might carp a bit if it gets 25% or 50% bigger for stuff that doesn't
interest them.
Perhaps I'm overly sensitive to this because I'm tuned into Red Hat's
constant struggles to fit a Linux distribution onto a reasonable number
of CDs ...
