We have to use quite different options in many places depending on the
compiler and the platform type (Win64/Win32). It's inevitable to use
!IFDEF's to switch between those specialities. I'd rather use an
additional parameter (like GDAL_DEBUG) to switch between the debug and
the opimized builds at a common place.
