Hi,

Was wondering why most suckless program doesn't seem to strip the
installed binary. strip (1p) is specified by POSIX so it should be
portable.

I noticed the binary size dropping a fair bit after stripping; the
following result is with vanilla/upstream Makefile and CFLAGS etc.

dwm 60K -> 50K
dmenu 42K -> 35K
st 100K -> 87K

Attached patches to strip the binary on installation for dwm, dmenu and
st.
