	Well, graphics is now ~100K, workbench is now ~70K, intuition is
about ~100K, dos is ~37K, gadtools is ~25, console is ~16, fs is ~20,
icon is another 10, shell (and the built-in commands) is another 18, etc, etc.
(Check out the mods listing in wack1.0 - it's a pain, but you can figure
out the approximate size of each module).

	A lot of things were added (gadtools, etc), a lot of other things
grew (intuition, graphics, wb, dos/shell/fs/con-handler), etc.  Remember that
code expands to fill all available space.  Unix is a prime example of this. :-)
Even timer.device got bigger (it also got far more accurate).

	Some of the stuff had been intended for disk - Wb, gadtools, icon, 
ieeesingbas, ramdrive, etc.  Other stuff was needed to support ECS chips
(>1024-pixel lines, etc), Hedley screens, the "new look", public screens,
all the new gadget stuff in intuition (boopsi, etc), etc, etc.  There was
stuff that didn't fit in rom, though - diskfont didn't (don't know why),
asl didn't, etc.  Other things may leave rom again in the next version.

	Oh well.  Having all that in ROM makes it boot amazingly faster than
pulling it off disk.  Now, how much did those 1MB roms cost?  ;-)
