To take advantage of this, we need to set the _STRIPFLAG_INSTALL in
mk/platform/<OPSYS>.mk where appropriate (I know for a fact this is
useful for IRIX).  However, setting=20

_STRIPFLAG_INSTALL?=3D	-S -f

would break on all installations that have previous versions of
install-sh.

What to do?  Do we have a BOOTSTRAP_REQD version number that we can set
and test for?  Or is it sufficient to give a heads up on this list and
then commit it?
