In using the ActivePerl sources for build 805 in building
Perl, I noticed that the ccflags contains the -Zi flag
to enable debugging information, even when in the
user-configurable section of the Win32 Makefile one
comments out the CFG = Debug line (which would have
built a Perl with debugging enabled). This is a change
from the 804 sources, which didn't have -Zi for a
non-debug Perl. I was wondering a couple of things:

- what would be the reason for this change?
- if one built a non-debug Perl without -Zi, would
this be binary compatible with one built with -Zi?

The reason I'd like to disable -Zi is that, in making
ppm packages, -Zi creates .pdb files with some
debugging info, and these are pretty large. Thanks.
