you're not only counting several versions of the same
libraries, you're also comparing apples and bananas.
here's what I have on my Windows box:

16K     _tkinter.dll
495K    tcl80.dll
766K    tk80.dll

when zipped, a complete distribution of Python, Tkinter,
PIL, and a few other libraries, fit on one 1.44 MB diskette.
