Bad. This (and the missing configure options) should be documented before
1.2 indeed.

Well, I would say that it is "intuitively obvious" for everybody who installs
software that stripping binaries would be a good idea when in need for space

An admin is free to set sitewide defaults that he likes for configure

That would be a start, yes. However just "not installing them" disables
them for all users, so is not really a customization to a specific user.

My opinion on this is that we probably need a seperate cvs for
gimp-plug-ins.
