Please, look at ACE_wrappers/apps/soreduce , which helped us to cut
to very part of the library, that was necessary.
The size of the optimized ACE library without debugging (linux)
on flash was decreased from 2.6 M to 0.6 M, if this is
your concern.

Y start with toys and they are tend to be growing and extended, and this is the
point, when you start to enjoy a good initial framework.
