(or someone else) was going to produce a smaller framework?  I have a
software project that will be distributed on a CD and shipped all over
the world.  A majority of the users will be military personnel using
laptops.  The framework expands to a hefty 150 MB.  Wouldn't it be
awesome if the redistributable would only install the namespaces that
are actually used in the application? Then as the user might add other
.NET based programs, have it check to see which namespaces those too may
require and install them on demand.

Framework (redistributable) is actually 23MB from memory, I downloaded
it the other day from MS servers. Check here:

I have the feeling Mono is far smaller too, though I can't check from
work :-)
