title: Disable C++ PDB generation from the IDE
body: <p>We need to surpress generation of debug symbols. The options availble under project properties/ configuration properties / c/c++ / general / debug information format, are equivalent to /Z7, /Zi and /ZI - I can't find a way to omit the /Zx flag entirely.</p>
  
  <p>Unlike <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11944768/supressing-pdb-generation-from-the-command-line-c">the situation here</a> - we're building from the IDE.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using visual studio 2010, and the project at hand is a static library.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:
  Here's the view from my installation of VS2012. Is this some installation issue?? Are your Debug-Information-Format options different?
