I've never really had a problem with -debug and -release; one enables
debugging code and the other strips out testing code for release.
Reading the documentation makes it pretty clear what -debug and -release do.

On the other hand, -dmc looks like it enables support for DigitalMars C
(which doesn't really make any sense), and my first thought when I saw
-airy was "...maybe it has something to do with birds?"
