I have been able to successfully debug Panotools after learning a bit more about Cmake and how it works with Eclipse.  I know many of you don't use Eclipse or other IDEs but here's the procedure in case it's useful for someone else:

0. Start with an empty build.libpano directory. (It should be a sibling to the source directory, libpano.)

1. cd build.libpano
Use CMake as given in [1] with the following modified flags:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILT_TYPE=Debug -G "Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" ../libpano13 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCPACK_BINARY_DEB:BOOL=ON -DCPACK_BINARY_NSIS:BOOL=OFF \

-DCPACK_BINARY_RPM:BOOL=OFF -DCPACK_BINARY_STGZ:BOOL=OFF -DCPACK_BINARY_TBZ2:BOOL=OFF \
-DCPACK_BINARY_TGZ:BOOL=OFF -DCPACK_BINARY_TZ:BOOL=OFF

This will create the required Eclipse .project and .cproject files in the build.libpano directory.

2. a) From Eclipse select File -> Import.  Select General -> Existing projects into Workspace. 
b) Select root directory to be build.libpano.  Leave "Copy project into workspace" unchecked. 
c) Project will have an "@" symbol.  Replace with an underscore using "rename project."

3. Set up a debug under Run -> Debug configurations.  Use standard create process launcher.  Set the C/C++ application to build.libpano/tools/PTmender (or whichever tool you wish to debug).

Making it in source-tree? Not recomended.

I would not like it. It would be very platform dependant. But why is it not possible from eclipse?
