We discussed this a bit in the lab today. It sounds like `raco exe` is
conservative by default here and has to bring in all the compile-time
dependencies too.
The reason is that things like `eval` (or other reflection mechanisms)
may need the compile-time dependencies.
In practice though, it seems like these can be removed in many
situations without causing problems. Maybe we would benefit from a flag
that can enable a less conservative mode?
