The ideal is that we could build both, creating a perl.exe and a perl_debug.exe.
I rarely use the Perl debugger, but when I need it I want it now and I'd hate to
have to rebuild Perl to get it.
A faster perl is attractive, though. How much faster are we talking about? So
little that we'd never notice or >5%?
