Summary: define NDEBUG for release builds

Initial Comment:
NDEBUG should be defined on the command line during 
release builds of Python, so that assert() statements 
go away.  We tried defining it in Python.h, but that 
interferes with extensions linking Python.h (and 
created real problems for Robin Dunn).

The Windows build already does this.

The Linux build needs it, and assigned to Fred for 
that part.

Fred, please assign to jackjansen when you're done, so 
he can consider the Mac build.

Any other build need special treatment?
