Always debug build with perl bindings

Hi folks,

I just logged a bug into bugzilla about the perl bindings. It turns out
that including <perl.h> always sets DEBUG, so you get a (partial) debug
build. So perl bindings are not yet ready for the general public :-(

The bad news is that I see no solution, other than redefining the symbol
AbiWord uses to mark debug settings with a different symbol (ABI_DEBUG?)

I found out about this because I got a strange linking error. Or at least,
I think this caused it:
  ap_UnixGnomeApp.o(.text+0x800): undefined reference to `AP_BuiltinStringSet::dumpBuiltinSet(char const *) const'

On a related note: the perl bindings are not yet in the bugzilla Component
menu. Perhaps somebody should add them there.

  Frodo
