Hi Robert,
      Thanks for the reply.

                 Yes it is in the debug mode and the size in Debug mode
doesn't matter. In Release mode, it came down to 21MB. When i removed the
BOOST_EXPORT, the size in DEBUG came down to 23MB.

let you know, within a day or two.

Please let me know, if you need any other details.

Thanks,
Gokul.
