If you don't use all the adime_dialogf() formats, then you can declare a list
of all formats that you use so that the others don't get linked into the
executable. This will only save up to about 10 KB, but see Allegro's
documentation (the "Reducing your executable size" section) for more hints
on how to get rid of much more size. The list of formats should look like
this:
<pre>
ADIME_BEGIN_FORMAT_LIST
format1
format2
etc...
ADIME_END_FORMAT_LIST
</pre>
where format1, format2 etc are any of the macros:
<pre>
ADIME_FORMAT_BOOL
ADIME_FORMAT_BUTTON
ADIME_FORMAT_STRING
ADIME_FORMAT_FILENAME
ADIME_FORMAT_VLIST
ADIME_FORMAT_LIST
ADIME_FORMAT_DATAFILE
ADIME_FORMAT_WVLIST
ADIME_FORMAT_WLIST
ADIME_FORMAT_WDATAFILE
ADIME_FORMAT_DIALOGF
ADIME_FORMAT_VDIALOGF
ADIME_FORMAT_INT
ADIME_FORMAT_PINT
ADIME_FORMAT_UINT
ADIME_FORMAT_PUINT
ADIME_FORMAT_SHORT
ADIME_FORMAT_PSHORT
ADIME_FORMAT_USHORT
ADIME_FORMAT_PUSHORT
ADIME_FORMAT_CHAR
ADIME_FORMAT_PCHAR
ADIME_FORMAT_UCHAR
ADIME_FORMAT_PUCHAR
ADIME_FORMAT_DOUBLE
ADIME_FORMAT_PDOUBLE
ADIME_FORMAT_FLOAT
ADIME_FORMAT_PFLOAT
ADIME_FORMAT_LINE
ADIME_FORMAT_NOTHING
ADIME_FORMAT_BUTTONROW
ADIME_FORMAT_CHAIN
</pre>
Like in Allegro, this will only work for the statically linked library.
Note that ADIME_FORMAT_BUTTONROW and ADIME_FORMAT_CHAIN are used internally,
so you shouldn't remove them unless you are sure that you know what you are
doing.
