[fpc-pascal] Executable size compiler 1.96 vs 1.06

[L505]

Ok something I just did was:
Copy ldw.exe from the \dev-pascal\bin directory over to ld.exe in the 1.9.6 compiler (rename ldw to ld)

Now program is only 440kb .. hmm 

Some more testing I will do with 2.0 release.

| Please test it with a official FPC 2.0.0 win32 release. The size should be
| less. A simple hello world is only 25KB. And a hello world+classes unit is
| 130KB.
