The application deploy tool was first added a year ago, and I've made steady improvements since then (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). The basic idea is that it takes a Factor image, loads your program in, then proceeds to strip out all the code for the parser, compiler, and reflection. After this is done, a GC pass eliminates unreachable code, and the only remaining code in the image is that which is directly referenced by the main word of your program.
