Is need to allow changing easily between a "normal" and a "debug" build with
-debug or -g (I don't remember which one triggers switching to debuglib instead
of using defaultlib). Projects can't do that by themselves because they don't
need to know where the runtime is installed and how can they switch between a
library compiled with debug symbols (and maybe assertions, contracts, etc.) and
the normal one.

I think what I proposed is general enough to support all that, even having the
debug library need to link to different libraries than the normal library.
