Stnadard where? In automake world it's not. There is a
install-strip target available on automake.

Picking up a random non-automaked source (rsync), and behold,
no strip in install stage. To check if this puts the non-linux
people in deep misery, nope. The FreeBSD port copes fine
by adding a single strip command in postinstall: target.

Unconditional stripping is bad, mmkay?
