        After consultations on the APR list, it was decided that /map files are
        fairly redundant when you retain rich .pdb debugging symbol files.  We
        have rarely used them, and generally .dbg and .pdb files prove much more
        useful for the cases we have.
      
        While eliminating /map files, we are also shrinking the size of the .dbg
        files by stripping 'private' symbol information.  Really this means less
        rich diagnostics from Dr. Watson on NT or Win9x when they query the .dbg
        symbols in creating a DrWatson log file.  But it's more than compensated
        for on newer OS'es where Dr. Watson will query the .pdb symbols, on all
        Win32 flavors when WinDbg is used with the .pdb symbols, and the fact that
        the distribution of binary symbols will use less bandwidth when less
        information is duplicated from the .pdb format into the .dbg files.
