>Description:
Section 15.1 of the Porter's Handbook instructs people to create a post-install:
target to strip binaries if the port doesn't do it. However, INSTALL_PROGRAM does
this automatically, and that macro is described in the very next section.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Whack section 15.1 of the Porter's Handbook.
