Executable isn't stripped

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Please add "-optl-s" option to ghc cmdline - it will strip debug info that
is 50% of executable now :)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
pandoc.exe 1.2, windows installer

That executable was produced by cabal -- doesn't cabal automatically strip 
executables?
Just to be sure, I tried adding '-optl-s' to 'ghc-options', then installed again
(using cabal). The resulting executable was the same size.  What am I missing?

mb by
using mingw strip utility

You're right -- mingw's strip did the trick.  I'll use this for the next 
release.
