  *) Introduce debugging symbols for Win32 release builds, both .pdb
     and .dbg files (older debuggers and Dr. Watson-type utilities
     on WinNT or Win9x don't support the newer .pdb flavor.)
     [Allen Edwards, William Rowe]

  This backport is necessary in order to assure those debugging the Apache
  binaries are in a position to collect Crash Dump files from segfault bug
  reports, either to use locally ourselves, or for the user to merge into
  their {c:\windows}\symbols tree (for .dbg files) or leave in the same
  directories as the binaries (for .pdb files).

  This patch has no impact on optimization, performance, file size (of those
  binaries) or other attributes.  Although this will add 'heft' to the
  distribution, we can decide 1) to package them in a seperate .zip file
  from dist/httpd/binaries/win32/ or 2) to include them in the .msi, but
  install only in the custom install selection page, or finally, 3) set up
  our own symbols 'server' that can be configured with windbg to automatically
  retrieve the right symbol sets for a given release package.

  Discussion is free to follow on list; these are the results of Allen and
  my research into the murky depths of 9x v.s. NT v.s. 2000/XP debug symbols.
