strip is very handy

re: the post about reducing the size of a compiled .dll

using strip also applies to compiled executables.
its great if you used -g to compile, and you want a smaller distribution,
without recompiling.


strip anyexe.exe

i had a huge 14 mb .exe, after strip,
it was only 2 mb!

thanks.
