/** 
 * Debug is a utility class that wraps println statements and allows

 *
 * <p> 
 *
 * The idea is to change the value of the DEBUG_LEVEL constant at
 * compile time, then call println(s,level) with a level number.  If
 * the level number is less than or equal to the currently set
 * DEBUG_LEVEL, the system will print the string; otherwise, output will
 * be supressed.
