 I guess there are many packages where you can enable extra checks
 (mem checks, assert code, ...) -- for example PostgreSQL, glib, ...

 It would be nice to have a generic way to enable/disable this stuff
 in spec files.

%configure \
    --enable-foo \
%if %{develmode}
    --enable-asserts
%endif
    --enable-bar
