I think I must be missing something as setting that (or --debug=on)
seems to make no difference to the output

C:\Users\ian.turton\src-msvc2010\gdal>apps\ogrinfo.exe --debug=on --formats
Supported Formats:
  -> "ESRI Shapefile" (read/write)
  -> "MapInfo File" (read/write)
  -> "UK .NTF" (readonly)
  -> "SDTS" (readonly)
  -> "TIGER" (read/write)
  -> "S57" (read/write)
...
