Research direction

Start at include/boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp, specifically the #undef _DEBUG line linked in the issue. Reproduce or inspect a Windows DEBUG build and verify which Python DLL boost-python links against. Done means the reported release-versus-debug DLL selection issue is resolved without breaking the surrounding wrapper configuration.
