addon_config.mk is cool, but with VS for example, we can't add debug libs, or declare any variable which says "debug lib are here and have to be include in debug mode".

Research direction

Start by reading addon_config.mk and tracing how addon libraries are declared and selected for debug versus release builds. Check the existing Visual Studio configuration path and document how debug-only libraries are represented. Done means addon_config.mk can declare debug libraries and they are included when building in debug mode.
