This is very true. This will break CGDB for instance. It use's the
fullname as a unique key to a file. If GDB says that c:\abc has 2
breakpoints and \abc has 1, CGDB will have 2 source files the user can
choose and each will contain it's own breakpoints.

It should just think there is 1 file.

What would 'info sources' do in this case anyways?
