 If somebody is making a port complex enough that they cannot use the
 INSTALL_PROGRAM macro, they will know enough to figure out how to strip

 The section could stay around, and just become a Don't... "Don't strip
 unless you have to."

 Is the porter's handbook part of the ports commit bit or the doc commit
 bit?
