* setup/Makefile.am: Provide new targets "strip" and "upx" to remove
debugging symbols and compress the executable using UPX,
respectively. Check for an executable "upx" in path and bail with a
warning message if not found.
* setup/README: Change the description of how to produce stripped and
compressed binaries to use the new make targets.

- $ strip -s setup.exe
- Compress using UPX:
- $ upx -9 setup.exe
