>Description:
	Using 1.3 with /usr/share/mk from current (and current pkgsrc)
	# cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/gtexinfo
	# make package

[ .. build fine, then start install .. ]
  install -c -s -o bin -g bin -m 555 install-info /usr/pkg/bin/install-info
  install -c -s -o bin -g bin -m 555 texindex /usr/pkg/bin/texindex
/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /usr/pkg/bin
 install -c -s -o bin -g bin -m 555 texi2dvi /usr/pkg/bin/texi2dvi
strip: /usr/pkg/bin/texi2dvi:: Inappropriate file type or format
install: stripping /usr/pkg/bin/texi2dvi: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1

	texi2dvi is a script - the Packages.txt does not give any indication
	of what The Right Thing to do is in this case.

>How-To-Repeat:
	See above
>Fix:
	Do no strip texi2dvi on install... A more generic fix may be to
	use a new flag to install which is 'strip if you can, but fail
	silent if non binary'
