I can approve that one, too. :-)

There is one thing there that may confuse our users a bit and that is
the following:

+ You can let installed programs and libraries be stripped with
+                                                                             
+@smallexample                                                                
+make install-strip                                                           
+@end smallexample   

This could be misread as stripping already installed programs and
libraries, where I assume this installs stripped copies.  If this
is correct, would you mind adjusting this before committing your
patch?  Something like "You can install stripped..." perhaps?
