Re: [PATCH 2/4] setup.exe

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] Makefile: additional targets "strip" and "upx"

* setup/Makefile.am: Provide new targets "strip" and "upx" to remove
  debugging symbols and compress the executable using UPX,
  respectively.  Check for an executable "upx" in path and bail with a
  warning message if not found.

* setup/README: Change the description of how to produce stripped and
  compressed binaries to use the new make targets.
