<p>When building a configuration with SimFactory, no matter what is set in the OptionList it sets the DEBUG and OPTIMISE options based on its own --optimise and --debug options, which default to enabling optimisation and disabling debug. This means that even if I have an OptionList with DEBUG="yes", SimFactory will silently change this to DEBUG="no". This is very unexpected and should not happen.</p>
<p>I think SimFactory should respect what is set in the OptionList and never change it. The attached patch disables the overriding of all OptionList settings.</p>

<p>A quick check confirms that indeed <code>--no-optimise</code> works as expected, setting <code>OPTIMISE=no</code> in <code>config-info</code>.</p>
