Which version for small .exes?

Which 32-bit version of Delphi produced the smallest executables using the
VCL? I'm thinking about purchasing a copy of an older version of Delphi
(perhaps 2.0 or 3.0) in order to develop the smallest Windows applications
possible. I don't need any of the features in the newer versions of Delphi
(i.e. 5, 6, 7, 2005, etc) anyway...

And does anyone know if Delphi 2.0 and/or Delphi 3.0 works well under
Windows 2000 and XP?

Thanks
