+## Main file to generate a DLL from the standard library. 
+## The default Nimrtl does not only contain the ``system`` module, but these 
+## too:
+##
+## * strutils
+## * parseutils
+## * parseopt
+## * parsecfg
+## * strtabs
+## * times
+## * os
+## * osproc
+## * pegs
+## * unicode
+## * ropes
+## * re
+## 
+## So the resulting dynamic library is quite big. However, it is very easy to
+## strip modules out. Just modify the ``import`` statement in
+## ``lib/nimrtl.nim`` and recompile. Note that simply *adding* a module
+## here is not sufficient, though.
