        I ended up taking that out because A) i got the impression that this is 
a test procedure and shouldn't be part of the released product and B) it gave

Q1:  Does fink have an official policy regarding how long we continue to

        That sounds appealing.

Q2:  But until i re-implement the stripping, it seems i still have to Depend 
upon a -shlib for every BuildDepend, right?
