Actually, I meant "the eventually created config.h", rather that
would be via config.in or config.vcin, etc.  The idea I had was
to add a line like "#undef NDEBUG" in config.in that could be
changed (via a configure option) to "#define NDEBUG".

I believe that the easiest way to accomplish this is to remove 
the NDEBUG defines from the VC builds files (.dsp), which I will 
do and include in a future patch.  If anyone wants to turn them 
back on, they can do in config.vcin.
