Are we talking past each other? install -s is now broken.  I don't believe
it used to be broken. I said a link to /usr/local/bin/strip was a short
quick fix. Then you said (or I read) "the alpha port's strip has always
been in /usr/local/bin," which lead to a circle jerk that gets us
to you now saying "it's _always_ been /usr/bin/strip.".

Jason, this has got to be a prime example of a human
null predecessor circle. :-)
