[Adium-devl] "Debug logger" plugin

[David Smith]

What about #defining AILog to
if(debug) { realAILog(args); }?
The plugin could then just set debug to YES, while Adium would set it  
to NO just before loading plugins. Branches are pretty cheap unless  
you're doing really intense microoptimization.
