The simplest way to build smaller libraries is to run the Objective Grid Build Wizard from the Start menu, and (on the components selection screen) only include the components you need for your application. You can specify your own name for the library. Continue with the Build Wizard and Visual Studio to the last screen, and then use the Build|Batch Build menu option to build the libraries you need. On the last screen of the Build Wizard, you will see a description of how to include your custom library in your projects (instead of the default library).
