C++ debugging

Debugging C++ code requires building 3D Slicer in Debug mode by following the build instructions.

The executable Slicer application (Slicer or Slicer.exe) is the launcher of the real application binary (SlicerApp-real). The launcher sets up paths for dynamically-loaded libraries that on Windows and Linux are required to run the real application library.
