Yes.  I have patches to make GDB run on Windows without Cygwin, for use 
as a cross-debugger via the GDB remote protocol.  (I've not tried to 
implement support debugging actual Windows applications, though there's 
nothing in what I've done that would prevent that later.)

There will be a few more patches in this series, but no major changes to 
the structure of GDB.

No.  Do you prefer that I ask DJ/Ian about that?
