Wotcher, honourable Yaroze squires & squirrels.

All this burbling about gdb has reminded me that last year we found
the source for a Windows front-end to gdb which Steve Chamberlain at
Cygnus Support had written in his spare time. We got it compiling but
didn't bother configuring it in any advanced way (ie to operate
remotely, although apparently the facility was included).

If anyone is interested in a visual interface to gdb, this might at
least jumpstart the process, if not entirely supplant the need for
coding.

The (slight) problem is that Chamberlain no longer works at Cygnus; he
recently told Martin that the source is "out there", but we couldn't
find a copy ourselves, having thrown away the copy from last year.

So if anyone can find it and get it working (sounds like a job for
SCEE, I'd say, but, then again, perhaps not) this might make gdb more
fun to use.

Cygnus are at http://www.cygnus.com, should anyone feel like making a
start at tracking it down.
