I understand your position, and I was expecting this reaction.

Maybe if I find some time I will try to write the proper remote win32 
support into gdb.
In the mean time, there are a ton of other things left to do,
so I am just happy that I have gdb working correctly for WinCE target.

I will maintain this patch out of tree on http://cegcc.berlios.de for now.

The solib.c/solist.h part of the patch should be generic, though. Would 
you like me to submit it separately?

Cheers,
Pedro Alves
