   Yes. Last time I debugged it was on Visual Studio 2008 Express and
Maya 2010. I just compiled the project in Debug configuration (or
Release with debugging information), set maya.exe as the executable
for the debug session and just press F5... then set breakpoints or
whatever you want. Pretty useful. Printf also works nice, but... :)

   Right now, I am a bit out of date in this project. There were some
changes to the code from other author that I have not revised yet.
Some of the changes do not work anymore on Maya 2010, so I am
currently porting to Maya 2011 and VS 2010 Express. I am also trying
to write a CMake script so keeping the different projects updated is
easier.

   I hope to have tomorrow a working environment so I can begin to work
again on the exporter and solve these problems.

   Just curiosity, ¿what environment are you using (Maya and OSG
versions, OS, HW architecture, IDE/Compiler) ?
