* When you just add a debugging printf to some .cxx file in module foo, 
you can do "make foo" instead of just "make" to only rebuild module foo, 
which usually suffices today to get the effect into the instdir 
installation.

* For debugging purposes, note that there is SAL_DEBUG with added 
usefulness compared to printf.

* If all else fails, there appears to be "make build-nocheck".
