I (or Mark) should be able to handle this, but if there are other
volunteers, please feel free.

The difficulty there was mapping the pgAdmin debug levels into
wxWindows. As 99% of the time I use Errors/SQL/Full Debug, I decided to
include only those plus None. As for all the pgXxx created's, we
probably don't need those as long as we do put in meaningful messages
elsewhere. In pga2, we log every function entry on Full Debug which is
handy if we need to figure out the call stack, but otherwise can be a
pain.

What do you think? I vaguely remember reading somewhere that glibc has
some sort of call stack macro that you can use at runtime anyway... Can
Windows do anything like that in a non-debug build?
