Not "with debugging" as in "--enable-debug". Just with the default options,
i.e. not using --disable-debug.
Same for kdDebug BTW. But that's sometimes a bit annoying for 3rd-party developers.

Anyway, Waldo convinced me: this is not a good way to go. Yes, the .rc file
will be found, but what about the application's data files, global config files,
icons, etc. ? It would be much better that if we (e.g. XMLGUI) detect that the 
application isn't installed, then we should pop up a dialog box saying 
"please install me first".
