I'm not sure that's a very good estimate, though, because in
AppKit.framework/Versions/C there's a shared library called AppKit and
one called AppKit_profile. I'm just guessing here, but the _profile
one might have debugging symbols and profiling code in it. AppKit is
6.9 MB; AppKit_profile is 39 MB. Also, there's 47 MB in the
AppKit.framework/Versions/C/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation
directory, and 21 MB in
Foundation.framework/Versions/C/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation
So possibly as little as about 20 MB. Just a rough guesstimate, of
course.
I don't remember the size of the runtime for Windows -- it has been a
LONG time since I did anything with it. But as I recall, it was pretty
big, a bit over 100MB if I remember. It had to install a Display
Postscript engine and a "Mach server" that could be used by the runtime
as a way to work around the fact that Windows lacks Mach messaging. So
you'd have more than just the two frameworks in a Windows runtime
(you'd need the Quartz renderer, for example).
If YB actually existed, I think the way it would work is that it would
be a separate install package that a user would install once as opposed
to something that would be embedded in every app. (Sort of like how
with games on Windows there's often a separate install package for the
latest version of Direct X that you install if you haven't already
installed it.) For a while there, installing WebObjects was how you'd
install the YB runtime, basically...
