On Mac OS 10.2.8 (darwin 6.8) I get:
TL2003: 50MB
TL2004: 60MB
stripped:
TL2003: 37MB
TL2004: 41MB
If I look at pdfetex with otool, it turns out everything is linked in
statically, except the system library. A shared library setup is
dangerous for a system which is distributed as binaries, so I am
somewhat reluctant to change this.

PS. bzipped, the binaries of TL2004 take 17MB.
