Strip bug(feature?) + a Preasent for all installers



typing strip libncurses.a produced a libncurses.a file with no exported functions whatsoever.
This is not the way strip behaves under linux, typing strip --strip-unneeded still gives a
usable library though.

I know what the man page says, but don't you
think defaulting to --strip-unneeded would give a
smaller surpries factor, expecially since it's always,
AFAIK, been that way? ;^)

To use the included install-sh, cp it to .../cdk/install-sh and to /bin/install
and ln -s install.exe install-real somewhere in your path.

it's about 70% faster, and the installed files retain the .exe extension
