* Common.

** Configuration.

Configure build with disabling unused features e.g.:

  $ ./configure --without-png

** Link dynamically.

Link dynamically instead statically (on your platform shared library may be
already present).

** Avoid debug build.

Make release/final build instead debug.

** Packer.

Use packers. Packer compress binary so binary smaller. When program load
decompress itself, so startup time increase.
