Because Visual C comes with two versions of the runtime library, a
"release" version -- usually present on all boxes -- and a "debug"
version. As you can imagine, only the debug version actually contains
runtime support for assert, so if you don't define NDEBUG in the release
build, your code doesn't link... At least, it used to be that way. Our
generated project files do define NDEBUG.
