I wouldn't have a problem with this. Alexandre?
We'd need to document INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG.

Would it be OK to say:
INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG=$${INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG:-s} \
in lib/am/install.am?
I'm not sure about 3 things:
- if I "quoted" that right
- if ${foo:-value} is sufficiently portable
- if it's Bad to leave INSTALL_STRIP_FLAGS set in general
In this last case, it might be a choi
install.am hardwires the INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG to -s.
I think this is a lose - there are cases (like installing kernel modules for
an embedded system) where one wants to do a stripped install but -s is "too
much".
In the existing code there is apparently no way to override this.
What's a good solu
