For something with such trivial functionality, using your application
framework of choice (C#, Java, MFC, Qt, Delphi) is, however tempting,
not going to be a good fit, for dependency reasons as much as
resource usage.
But it's probably under a couple of hundred lines of c/win32, and
wouldn't be too hard to cobble together.
