The results of the last Managers meeting is that the PIC policy seems to 
have been accepted (xml writing pending). So to prepare for this change   
I've put together a patch that checks shared objects for text
relocations.

If the shared object is found to contain any text relocations then the 
script will echo the name of where it will be installed to.

It strict is set in FEATURES it will print a more verbose message, ask    
for help if the user is a coder and then and exit with a value of 1

This recent --strip-uneeded update makes the isetdyn check obsolete thus 
why it's removed in this patch.

Note: 
I'm a rather hardcore PIC fan so none/very few of my shared objects should have this behavior so I've not actually gotten a warning displayed yet. 

Testing welcome.

Attachment get removed? Did I forget to actually attach the attachment or give a url. shrug.

Anyway it works as expected.
