For me, the term "shrinking" is what Dolphin does to generate a windows app 
from a package in the image.  I'm not sure how the dependencies are 
determined, but there is a dependency pane in the browser that shows you 
what classes your package depends on.  You can manually add more if you need 
to, do scripts and things.  But I guess the key point is, you know what is 
going to happen when you press the "shrink" button: everything not in the 
package or the dependencies list will not be written into the next EXE.
