I've been considering for a while that we should remove the
default build setting of STRIPFLAG=-s (which causes programs to
be stripped (with strip(1)) as they're installed (by install(8))

This change would provide far more useful debugging information
at the expense of slightly more disk space.  Here's a comparison
of a stripped versus unstripped full "distribution + x11" build:
	291564  destdir.i386
	281409  destdir.i386.stripped
(These figures are in KB)

(If disk space is a premium, end users can manually strip
the binaries after installation.)

Comments?
