Try compiling Expat with XML_DTD undefined and XML_MIN_SIZE defined.
Not sure how well tested this combination is.
--> Tried both ! They resulted in reducing the parser size, but not to my
need !

On Windows this reduces size by abut 20%, but the Dll is still much larger
than what you want. Btw, Expat does only WF-parsing, no validation.
--> Hope eXpat also does DTD validation.
