Thanks Marc. The patch is very nice and welcome.

We just have to add somewhere the instructions to using it: you must 
define the default debug area before including any KDE headers.

As a side-effect, there must be no kDebug() in header files anywhere, 
inlined or not.

I'd also like to apply the following patch, which brings the debug-mode 
macros to the same level as the release-mode ones. This will catch early 
on syntax errors:
