Re: [cdt-debug-dev] Windows Debug API - CDI Implementation

+1.
I have done similar work to integrate Win32 SDK debug API in Eclipse. But it
works directly with the Eclipse debug framework and the CDT extensions
bypassing the CDI layer. I was using it to test some CDT UI components and
it is far from being comleted.
I've had problems with some of the Win32 API functions and especially with
the DbgHelp library.
