   No unit clipbrd, at least in core FPC (Lazarus might be different)   
      
   That unit is also probably the reason why that file becomes so fat in   
   Delphi. You probably pull in unit forms via that unit, and thus get the   
   minimal footprint of a visual VCL program.   
      
   Recoding that with a few windows API calls will probably allow you to keep   
   it under 10-50k
