<pre>Thanks for reviewing it. Does that mean that you would accept it if I add
patches for cmake and change the text of the description?
The man page for assert(3) on Fedora 20 mentions NDEBUG and lists the behavior
as conforming to POSIX.1-2001, C89, and C99, so I think that setting NDEBUG is
the correct way to disable assertions and that applications that use NDEBUG for
their own purposes are risking portability problems.</pre>
