Remove PDB references from released file

by

You can use /pdbpath:none (or /pdbaltpath:%_PDB% on newer versions of link.exe) to remove the full qualified path name of the PDB file, but keep the name and extension of the PDB only. Keeping the name (and extension) of the PDB for released images is your only way to debug an image that is buggy. Windows images almost always keep the name and extension of the PDBs!
