(The 'install' target should only very, very rarely strip by default, and if it does, it's usually reported as a bug by a host of distribution packagers [mostly Gentoo ones, but, still, it should be left to the user to decide what to do with debug info ;D]).

strip --strip-unneeded -o ./libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0-strip libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.13.3
goes from 496.1mb to 18.7mb heh.
