[issue21292] C API in debug fails

[Steve]

New submission from Steve:

Although not a bug, it annoys me enough that it is a bug in my head!

The problem is that trying to compile an application in debug that embeds Python fails.

Case in point; we canned the idea of embedding Python (went with Lua) for that reason only.  We did not have the option of incorporating a Python build into our build system and not being able to compile in debug was not an option either.  We would have been happy to compile in debug with a release lib of Python, but since it was not possible, it got killed.

The fix: It should be possible for someone to compile an application in debug that embeds python without having the Python debug libraries.
