.pdb files are not created because /pdb:None is set as an option on line 415 of msvc9compiler.py.  Removing the /pdb:None works to write the .pdb file and allow symbols to be loaded in the VS 2008 debugger in the one extension I tried.  Anyone know why /pdb:None was added?

See the subversion history. It was added in r14344, which supposedly originated from Thomas Heller, so he should know.

Thomas, what's the reason for suppressing PDB files?
