[lazarus] Win32 Installer/Lazarus

[Curtis White]

I agree, but the only problem with using the Debug class is that it compiles
extra code into your programs, even when you turn Debug off. Maybe we should
wrap the calls to the Debug class in ifdef DEBUG directives and include the
define DEBUG in the Debug unit file. Then all we have to do is comment out the
define and recompile and all the debug code will get compiled out. This gives
us the ability to use the logging that the Debug class provides and still
allows us to compile out the code when we are done debugging.

Just an idea.
