Hi,

The local_install:: target in Makefile.SH strips the gtk-gnutella binary
when installing it using the -s flag. I propose to remove this flag and
not strip gtk-gnutella by default.

My main reason for bringing this up is that this triggers a Gentoo QA
rule. Gentoo policy is to not strip binaries on installation so that the
package manager can handle this. By default binaries are still stripped,
but it is also possible to do more advanced things like splitdebug. See
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml for more info (under the
header stripping).

In addition removal of this flag may also provide more meaningful
backtraces from people installing from source themselves.

I'd be happy to make the change but thought I'd throw it up for
discussion first.

Kind regards,

Hans
