/** @file Debug.h
 *  @brief Define a <b>simple</b> debugging interface to use in C programs
 *  @details One method of debugging your C program is to add <tt>printf()</tt>
 *  statements to your code. This file provides a way of including debug
 *  output, and being able to turn it on/off either at compile time or
 *  at runtime, without making <b>any</b> changes to your code.
 *  Two levels of debugging are provided. If the value <tt>DEBUG</tt> is
 *  defined, your debug calls are compiled into your code. Otherwise, they are
 *  removed by the optimizer. There is an additional run time check as to
 *  whether to actually print the debugging output. This is controlled by the
 *  value <tt>debugLevel</tt>.
 *  <p>
 *  To use it with <tt>gcc</tt>, simply write a <tt>printf()</tt> call, but
 *  replace the <tt>printf()</tt> call by <tt>debug()</tt>.
 *  <p>
 *  To easily print the value of a <b>single</b> variable, use
 *  <pre><tt>
    vDebug("format", var); // "format" is the specifier (e.g. "%d" or "%s", etc)
 *  </tt></pre>
 *  <p>
 *  To use debug(), but control when it prints, use
 *  <pre><tt>
    lDebug(level, "format", var); // print when debugLevel >= level
 *  </tt></pre>
 *  <p>
 *  Based on code and ideas found 
 *  <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1644868/c-define-macro-for-debug-printing">
 *  here</a> and
 *  <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/679979/how-to-make-a-variadic-macro-variable-number-of-arguments">
 *  here</a>.
