I would prefer to have an option in the config.nmake to enable/disable it.

When debugging, I need this option.

But as you noticed, we don't distribute the PDBs. So we might want to 
use the release version for distribution.

However, I frequently get very annoying problems with release versions, 
as they have different timings, and therefore get new problems that the 
debug versions don't have (or at least don't appear to have).

So we have to test both versions in that case :-(
