[etherlab-users] 2 extensions for the configure

[Sergej.Stepanov at ids.de]

Hallo list,

By using the Igh EtherCAT-stack in cross environment it would be nice to have the following extensions in the configure.ac:
1. install prefix for cross-compiled kernel modules (it could be for native platforms also useful)
2. compiled kernel modules be stripped after they are installed

For this purposes could be used the following patch based on current repo state:
