Description

Current implementation requires to switch "*_VERBOSE" flags in "serf_private.h" at compile time to be able to diagnose any connectivity or authentication troubles.

It will be great to be able to set these flags at runtime.

Here are proposals:
. add an API to do so, like neon has, so that Subversion may have a new "serf-debug-mask" http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4407
. read an environment variable providing verbosity flags as a binary mask
