A line that I am removing completely from svn.  :)  So I fail to see
how it is relavant.

The actual Release mode kDebug now is on line 122. And it definitely
works, because before I had a non-compiling release mode and now I
have a Release mode that compiles and creates executables that do not
have the debug strings in the binary.

If there is a better patch, feel free to commit it, but I'm going to
go use my super-fast KDE4 now.
