   [SlimDX] Custom Build - SkinnyDX?
  Pardon my ignorance in such matters, but is it possible / permitted to do a smaller custom build with only DX9 functionality.  Is it just a matter of excluding the DX10 and DX11 namespaces and code from the build?My simple fixed pipeline CAD application and corporate target audience means I'm going to have to target XP type machines with minimal graphics (DX9) for the foreseeable future.  Therefore I'd like to only have to reference a skinny fixed version slimdx9.dll to the project to reduce download size and simplify distribution and installation.   
  The first thing to do if you are using our installer is to build a custom version by simply excluding the DX redist CABs you're not using. That will save a lot of space. If you're feeling really intense, you can probably pull off the VCRT hack I used in the past, or just use the Aug 09 release as your base instead of Feb 10 (which already contains the hack). Rebuilding the binary itself will save you maybe 1 MB; the stuff I mentioned will take off more like 10.   ;  Alternately you can pay me to do it. PM if you're interested.
