[Lunar-commits] <moonbase> gtk+-2: remove the --enable-debug=no... Most STUPID addition ever... default is minimal debugging which solves a lot of problems of gtk+-2. This has quite possibly even prevented us from upgrading to 2.18.x

--enable-debug. * Turns on various amounts of debugging support. Setting
this to 'no' disables g_assert(), g_return_if_fail(), g_return_val_if_fail()
and all cast checks between different object types. Setting it to 'minimum'
disables only cast checks. Setting it to 'yes' enables runtime
debugging<http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/gtk-running.html#GTK-Debug-Options>.
The default is 'minimum'. Note that 'no' is fast, but dangerous as it tends
to destabilize even mostly bug-free software by changing the effect of many
bugs from simple warnings into fatal crashes. Thus --enable-debug=no should
*not* be used for stable releases of GTK+.
