This seems like it should be pulled into V.

What is the difference between these two?

Not very much. Summon a monster places the monster close to the player . Create a specific monster places it somewhere random on the dungeon level.

I have Dev-C++ installed on my laptop, but never attempted compiling anything as remotely complex as Angband. IMO it (know all items/flavors) would fit better with the cheat options than debug mode, or both. Also, "know all terrains" might be nice.

There's a ticket for a revamp of de-bug commands for V. I think it's slated for 4.0.

The V Dev Team will probably want to look at debug mode in Sil. New commands I added include:

l: wizard look mode. Like normal look, except if you are looking at a square and type a character, you create that thing on the square (e.g. wall, edged weapon, dragon). Pressing (space) increments it to the next thing with that symbol, (tab) re-rolls the thing of that type (e.g. a new shortsword), (backspace) toggles permanent light on that square. This is how the tutorial was created, and is great for testing.

f: forget all items, monsters, map, the fact you have been in debug mode... (useful for creating interesting starting savefiles for tournaments)

I also have a screen of debug options that are only available in debug mode, which include:

Continually display all monsters
Continually display all noise levels
Continually display all scent levels
Continually display all light levels
Show all skill rolls
Timestop (Don't allow monsters to get a turn)

As well as all the standard cheat mode things...

Here is a screenshot of me displaying all noise levels (I can't explain how useful this was for debugging!):
