I'm not asking for a major refactor.

I'm asking for classes that don't change sizes or virtual table layouts 
(not the case) once installed. The easiest way is to remove all #ifdef 
logic from installed files.

I'm not saying you can't use different bases or different memory tracking 
mechanisms. But please make that a compile-time definition. Install 
generated headers that don't change if someone defines _DEBUG or 
something else.
