[En-Nut-Discussion] How do I generate Ethernut (Net & OS) with symbols?

(Partially answering my own question)

I see in the Nut/FAQ where it talks about changes to the Makefile to generate
the elf file.  I would have thought that this was a common enough operation that
it would have been included in the Makefile created by the Configurator steps.
It's my understanding that this Makefile is overwritten if I regenerate the Nut
and the samples.

BTW: When should one use cof files and when should you use elf files?  And/or
which is best to use with AVR Studio?  I'm using elf because that's what I was
using in my initial learning of WinAVR/AVRStudio.

If it makes any difference in all this, I'm using Programmers Notepad 2 to do
the builds of HTTPD.

BTW: I have tried opening the cof file also - still no symbols for Nut/Net or
Nut/OS.
