1452	add method debug to $conf object	coke	jkeenan	"All the verbose handling in the config steps is keyed off:

{{{
$conf->options->get('verbose')
}}}


and then this is tested before printing:


{{{
        print ""Currently we only set warnings if using gcc as C compiler\n""
            if $verbose;
}}}


Instead, just define a method on the $conf object and use that:


{{{
$conf->debug(""Currently we only set warnings if using gcc as C compiler\n"");
}}}

This would also obviate the need to pass the flag around to all the helper functions, since we're already passing the configure object itself.
