make g_log an iostream of some sort, I don't know all the ins and outs
of the g_log capabilities, but it's not hard.

You can also create something like cnil, an iostream-derived thingy that
does absolutely nothing.  That at least kills the output, but doesn't
remove the stream generation overhead, just doesn't output to terminal
or whatnot.

Then substitute g_log or cnil depending on NO_DEBUG state.
