I think that the best thing to do is to do as we do now by default,
and require an explicit argument to get full debug information, as we
do now.  This is consistent with what other Automake-ized software
packages do.

Usually, when I want to compile something with debug info I simply
override $(CFLAGS) on the make commandline, like this:

$ make CFLAGS="-ggdb"
