I've added a simple getenv to allow install to use a proper strip. This
came about while trying to develop some software for GPE
(gpe.handhelds.org). Also, I noticed that it was suggested to be done
in the TODO file.
Patch is attached.
(Note, I'm not on the list, so I will only receive replies if Cc'd)
Thanks,
Chuck Mason
