I just noticed that building from source, the bianry install is not
stripped.
Not that it makes much difference to the speed of operation of Claws
(blazing fast), it must make some difference:
ls -lsa progs/claws/bin/
12436 -rwxr-xr-x 1 n1ck users 12733660 May 21 11:19 claws-mail
strip progs/claws/bin/claws-mail
ls -lsa progs/claws/bin/
3684 -rwxr-xr-x 1 n1ck users 3771096 May 21 14:47 claws-mail
Surely only devs need an unstripped binary?
