Summary: Release and Debug DLLs should have different names
Initial Comment:
On windows, (unlike on Unix) it is a wise idea to have
output dlls and libs for release and debug with different
names, possibly following the Python convention:
python.exe
python_d.exe
python23.dll
python23_d.dll
etc...
The ACE library is another one:
ace.dll
aced.dll
And IBMs unicode libraries (ICU) follow a similar
converntion.
The reason for this is that applications may encounter
runtime errors when linking to libraries that use a different
heap, and release and debug versions generally do this.

I am not convinced that this is a good idea for Expat.
Everytime I would like to debug I need to link to a
different library. This is inconvenient.
I am not sure that Expat will have a problem with different
heaps, as the API does not require cross-allocation or
cross-deallocation of memory.
