Comment:

 In r16899 I've added code to the include/xapian/version_h.cc template so
 that we get a check for _DEBUG if building with MSVC.  However, this only
 gets used if you use configure with MSVC, which isn't how Charlie builds.
 I'm not sure if configure with MSVC currently works or not - installing
 MSYS on windows is one approach.  The other is to install MSVC in wine and
 run configure under Linux, treating MSVC as a cross-compiler.  But AFAIK,
 neither has been tried recently.

 With GCC, version.h is generated unchanged (except a (C) date change).
 Faking what MSVC defines with GCC's preprocessor produces a suitable
 version.h for MSVC, but I don't know exactly what MSVC outputs in
 preprocess-only mode, so this might still need tweaks.

 I'm marked this as "fixed" for now - we can reopen if it turns out to need
 more work.

 I think at this point this isn't worth backporting.  If we actually know
 it works, it is worth considering.
