Anyone using MemCheck for leak detection?

KMM leak checker refused to work for me. Maybe just as well, since the need
to wrap every block of potential problem code with ugly defines was a
depressing notion. There was also a pretty ugly collection of files
necessary to use the package.

I looked at several others, but they were either huge or without source or
both.

One called MemCheck (2.73) looks promising. A single 80K .pas file, include
it once in the .dpr file; it goes off when it encounters leaks, and creates
an output file.

The test programs I created to try it seem to work fine. A "Hello, world"
program is 1,800K plus, which feels strange, but this too shall pass.

Anyone else tried it, and if so with what results?
