 I asked this same on the Insight-list, but got no replies...

 I prefer to use a real Unix, not a Unix-layer over Windoze... But if X11 works over Cygwin,
has someone build Insight/GDB for X11 and for Win32-target ?  I mean using Insight remotely
from a Unix-like system for debugging Win32-apps running on a Win32/Cygwin system from
there ?  AFAIK, X11-terminals once were used to control remote apps on a Unix-system and I
remember using remotely some X11-apps from Windoze-PCs, running on a Sun/Sparcstation, but
using some commercial X11-server on Windoze to control the application...

 So if X11 works on Cygwin, it should be possible to not touch the "evil Windoze-world", but
to work completely under Linux or something and handle the always-crashing Windoze somehow
like an "embedded system", not suitable as the ideal development platform... When one builds
the Win32-apps on Linux, debugging them also from there should be possible. 

Cheers, Kai
