lighten the install, no .dump files

I do not think that the static library needed to be installed by
default. They are excluded from packaging by Fedora.
I think stipping should be done by packaging or by the user.

May be adding targets:

  make install-static-lib
  make strip

or the configuration option:

  perl Configure.pl --with-static
