Yes completely true. And not a good idea to keep around strings that
aren't going to be used.

The fact was that the variadic macro was being used to 'comment out'
the 'infof' macro when CURL_DISABLE_VERBOSE_STRINGS was defined.

To not break anything I suppose that the above behaviour is the
desired one, and not the other option I've been thinking of which
would be to use DEBUGF(infof(data, x, y, z)) all over the place.

Or maybe better...

#ifdef CURL_DISABLE_VERBOSE_STRINGS
#define VERBOSEF(x) do { } while (0)
#else
#define VERBOSEF(x) x
#endif

and surround all 'infof' which aren't already inside DEBUGF

Or just leave it as it was previously even when one of Dan's auto
builds is complaining due to the use of --disable-verbose ?

Which route is the proper one ?
