the problem is QT_NO_DEBUG, in non debug builds DefaultOutput is
defined as NoOutput, so since there is no WarnOutput in kdebugrc it
will default to NoOutput, what I don't understand is why it works with
kdebug and it can read InfoOutput since I don't have any debug area 0
in kdebugrc
the function where it reads these values is areaOutputMode in kdebug.cpp
