[vlc-devel] [PATCH] configure: enable asserts by default

[Thomas Guillem]

For 4.0, I propose to finally do the opposite:
 - Enable asserts by default (NDEBUG is not defined).
 - Disable asserts with --disable-debug for release builds (NDEBUG is defined).

Why ? Because too many developers are not using this option that should be
mandatory during the development or testing phase.
