Unfortunately CVS head doesn't currently build under msys/mingw. I've
got plain vanilla gdb to build with minimal patching but adding Insight
is still a little problematic, not far off though. I just need to figure
out why the gdbtk module isn't picking up the tcl headers and I think it
should be plain sailing from there.

I actually did this the other way round, injecting gdb 6.3 into the
Insight 6.1 tree, it's fairly easy to do although the patches aren't
exactly trivial. It was really just a matter of checking out the 6.1
tree, bringing the gdb sections up to 6.3 then applying a patch
generated from the mingw gdb source, Andrew's SEH fix and a couple of
minor configury changes.
