Hi Sukender,

When I build packages in debug config (VC8 SP1), I got the releases binaries 
into them... did I miss something?

I hadn't tested this yet, thanks for beating me to it :-)

It should be possible to create both debug and release packages, especially on Windows. Even if users don't want to debug into OSG from their applications, with Visual Studio, linking a debug application to a release library can (will) cause problems, so we really need to provide both packages.

Perhaps the -dev packages should contain the debug DLLs + libs in addition to the release libs and headers? Since only developers will need the debug DLLs, and theoretically all developers will need them, I don't see why they should be a separate package. It will just make it easier to make the mistake of linking the release libs to a debug application if the user just downloaded that and "didn't see" the debug libs package...

Moreover, should not pakages mention if they are debug/release? Such as 
"libopenthreads-2.7.7-win32-x86-vc80sp1-debug.tar.gz"?

I was going to suggest adding debug/release to the names too.
