It depends on if you want to deploy the code, and if you want to do it
portably.

Since you're stripping, I guess you do want to deploy. So for that you
need a build system.

Here, an example. A single module program, that uses cabal.

As a result, it can be widely distributed from hackage, or natively
packaged, or what not.

                             Cabal is easy.
