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.
