So I'm trying really hard to minimize the size of my abiconvert executable.
For plugin support, I have two options it seems.

1. 'strip -u -r -S -x' will leave behind only global non-debug symbols.
2. I can determine the specific subset of global symbols that are used
(or might be used) by plugins, and strip all globals except those.

The difference between 1 and 2 is roughly 600k (3.2 meg versus 3.8). Any
thoughts?

Oh, and many many thanks to fjf for helping me even get plugins building on OS
X.
