I have tested install-strip for cross-compilation with CVS Automake,
doing both an in-place and a VPATH build (with relative paths, I have
not tested absolute paths).  It works here, great :)

I suppose the following issue are remaining:

   * install-strip when cross-compiling:

       - $INSTALL_STRIP_PROGRAM assumes install-sh, not install.sh
         (easily fixed)

       - $_am_dirpart can fooled when $install_sh is defined
         using $am_missing_run

       - $STRIP has to be set *before* AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is called
         (either by the user or in a configure check); I'm not
         really happy with that -- but it deserves some
         documentation, should it be kept as-is.

   * install-strip when *not* cross-compiling:

       - $INSTALL_STRIP_PROGRAM uses sub make evaluation, does it
         really matters?

Comments?
