Yes you are right, whining here won't help, I will file a bug report. But I really needed the discussion here before I could do that. I didn't know all the pros and cons of the current approach. I was just reporting a problem that I (and many others) have with pyconfig.h and Debug mode. But I do recognize that my current approach (how I reported this problem) is not the most effective one.
