Add something like:

#if defined(NS_DEBUG) && !defined(DEBUG)  (or should that be _DEBUG?)
#warn You will probably experience linking problems involving nsCOMPtr_base.
#warn Please define NS_DEBUG in your application.
#endif

to nsCOMPtr.h after:

 80 #ifdef NS_DEBUG
 81   #define NSCAP_FEATURE_TEST_DONTQUERY_CASES
 82   #define NSCAP_FEATURE_DEBUG_PTR_TYPES
 83 //#define NSCAP_FEATURE_TEST_NONNULL_QUERY_SUCCEEDS
 84 #endif

This should ease things for people embedding since this isn't necessarily 
something that is readily obvious and has caused problems for people for some 
time. (And then they show up on IRC....)
