Added a Debug method to the Console/log class that has the Conditional attribute (set to "DEBUG"), so we can use that for writing extra debug info to the console. [for anyone who doesn't know about the Conditional attribute, it is a attribute that can be set on a method, and then any call to that method will on be compiled if the terms of that condition are met, ie is this case only if "DEBUG" is true. So its a cleaner implementation of the #if #endif directives].

A few other minor changes.
