Btw what's wrong with "need to sort out binary stripping"?

Doing:
make NETSURF_USE_JS=NO NETSURF_USE_MNG=NO BUILD=debug
NETSURF_STRIP_BINARY=YES

Gives a functionnal 4.1MB binary instead of 9MB.
I just checked and the stripping is done before adding the resources, as
should be (strip doesn't know about resources and so removes them).
