[Distutils] Bug report: debug builds on msvc compiler don't specify *_d.lib a
s link sources

In ccompiler, you have this code in gen_lib_options:
for lib in libraries:
(lib_dir, lib_name) = os.path.split (lib)
if lib_dir:
lib_file = compiler.find_library_file ([lib_dir], lib_name)
if lib_file:
lib_opts.append (lib_file)
else:
compiler.warn ("no library file corresponding to "
"'%s' found (skipping)" % lib)
else:
lib_opts.append (compiler.library_option (lib))
Note that you aren't passing "debug" to compiler.find_library_file, so the
debug libraries will never get used. Also note that msvccompiler doesn't
provide for passing the debug flag to library_option, so it doesn't do the
proper name mangling (adding _d) for the library name. I'm guessing you'll
need to make gen_lib_options get passed the debug flag, and then make it
pass that flag on to the compiler methods. No clue what to do for non-vc++
compilers (or even if they need debug flags).
Enjoy,
Mike
