Hi,
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/c1250.html#AEN1255
says to strip binaries. However INSTALL_PROGRAM script seem to do it for 
you automatically. Should this section be removed from the docs?

15.1 Strip Binaries

Do strip binaries. If the original source already strips the binaries, 
fine; otherwise you should add a post-install rule to it yourself. Here is 
an example:

post-install:
            strip ${PREFIX}/bin/xdl

Use the file(1) command on the installed executable to check whether the 
binary is stripped or not. If it does not say not stripped, it is 
stripped.
