> It's acceptable for stubify to *always* strip the .exe.  

If you are a gdb user this makes sense, since gdb can't read symbols on the
end of a .EXE - but EDEBUG32 and FSDB can (but it might be argued that
for consistency only COFF files should keep them).  It seem the first
step is to make a switch for stubify which could strip - then that could
optionally be part of the specs file.  I don't have any strong options
on if stripping .EXEs should be default, but it would make a lot of
hello_world_size_inquiries disappear.  But then you will get the
I don't get symbols when debugging inquiries ...
