The clisp executables are not stripped because apparently there's a 
disassemble command within clisp that doesn't work if the executables 
are stripped.  I don't actually know anything about this, but there was 
a comment about that in the .cygport file that I inherited from Reini. 
This may or may not explain why maxima.exe didn't like being stripped.
