Thanks for the confirmation. Someone wrote me off-list and explained what my real problem is.
I have some factory methods that call class methods (+[RemoteCommand commandWith...]). These, naturally, reference the object's class object and create a linker reference that has to be resolved. If I remove these from my application, I should be able to remove all vestiges of the server code in my client.
