[Qbs] Binary stripping

Hi all!
Sorry for spamming the list :-)
I noticed that binaries generated by mingw are quite large, and when I
ran the "strip" command on them, the size was reduced by more than half,
without losing functionality.
I'm building my application with the `config:release` option. Shouldn't
that run "strip" on the generated binaries? I see that QBS seems to be
strip-aware already (there are the stripName and stripPath options in
the cpp module), but it appears that their usage is only triggered if
separate debug information is requested.
Is there a reason why "strip" is not invoked when in release mode?
Ciao,
Alberto
