Debugging is very difficult with any optimization turned on.  With inline 
functions it is next to useless.  So I meant '-g' for debug mode and 
'-O2' for release mode.

For traditional C programs (with out a lot of inlining) '-O2 -g' is 
somewhat useful which is why automake defaults to it, but for C++ it is 
next to useless.
