The perl script I provided may be useful in making this
process a bit less awkward.  (BTW, can you un-DOSify the
line-ends from this file [makevcdist.pl]- sorry I submitted 
it that way).

This suggestion was intended to really be cross-platform, not
so much VC specific.  When running under VC, I blithely edit 
config.h directly, since I never run configure (unless building 
under cygwin), so config.vc (and config.vcin) rarely change.

The suggestion isn't really too critical, though, since we're
all agreed that NDEBUG is not a useful thing to define anyway.
