We are not talking about hardware and microsoft, we are taking about pd externals dlls. I have cheked all w32 deken pkgs and mainly the only one dll that is going to be dup/multiply is pthread and there will be around 15 copies of it. 

All deken packages count 2100 dlls [objects] and takes around 150Mb.

PthreadGC2 is 93Kb and there are (will be) 15 of them.
