Totally unrelated. usevmsdebug compiles and links everything for the
VMS debugger (more or less equivalent to gdb). It also generates
compiler listings (files names *.lis) if you want to see the world
from the C compiler's point of view with macros expanded, include
files included, ifdef paths taken and not taken, etc.
-DDEBUGGING means the same thing it does no other platforms, i.e.,
build support for Perl's debugger. In case you don't know already,
you do need to quote argumetns to configure.com to preserve case:
$ @configure -"DDEBUGGING" -"des"
but DEBUGGING support is the default, so you'd really only need to
specify it explicitly if you want to switch it off.
