To strip or not to strip

We've always built the CodeWeavers Wine RPM unstripped, in the theory
that it made supporting Wine newbies easier.

However, AFAICT from watching cemw, we never get into a situation
where a newbie goes into winedbg; more often, they shift
first to the CVS tip, and from there maybe to winedbg.

So, it seems like shipping debug symbols may just be a waste
of bandwidth.

(Note, we build with all full logging enabled, and we'll never
change that).

However, before we go ahead and yank the debug info out of our RPM,
I thought I'd post a note, and let someone tell me if I'm wrong.

Thanks,

Jer
