Seems a nice idea but
- we have to specify that, for example, noone should add extra ivars 
when DEBUG is set (?).
- this disabled the possibility to have a complete debug version and a 
complete non-debug version at the same time (at least under the same 
GNUSTEP_ROOT)

AFAIK, there's only problems with 'frameworks' (but I may be wrong 
as I mainly use only debug versions)
