The problem is that the help text, translations and other documentation
is appended to the binary, and it opens itself when called with print -?,
for example. So stripping cannot be done later on, because then the
messages get stripped as well. Ideally arj should be switched to a
sane system like gettext, and then this would get fixed automatically,
but I've not had the time to do this.
