Yep I know but to me it is much more clear what debugging level you
get when you use the actual debugging mask in the environment variable

I tend to disagree, this was just an idea to clear things up and
allowing stuff like

export PVFS2_DEBUGMASK='GOSSIP_CLIENT_DEBUG'

which I think is easier to use while developing (especially if you are
testing parts of the code with a new homegrown debugging levels).
Having both options would be the best solution I suppose.
