[cdt-debug-dev] Initial commit for win32 debugger completed

Hey gang,

I have committed what I have so far for the win32 debugger. These are 
available in the org.eclipse.cdt-debug folder, plugins 
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.win32.core and org.eclipse.cdt.debug.win32.ui.

Going through it today, I'll have to apologize for the lack of comments in 
the code. Hopefully, you can follow it. If not, I'll be happy to answer 
any questions on it.

As Alain pointed out, this will be a good exercise to remove MI-isms from 
the debugger, but, to be honest, I haven't notice any yet. But then I'm 
pretty much a novice at this stuff.

There are a couple of interesting things covered by the core plugin. First 
is the use of the Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit and Platform SDK to build 
the native library. These are available for free from the microsoft.com 
website. Second is the use of cpptasks and Ant for the build, thus 
avoiding the need to install make to work on these plugins. There is a 
README.html file in the core plugin which describes how to set this stuff 
up.

If people get annoyed by cpptasks, we should be able to move to something 
else that would work with Standard Make (Jam??). But give it a try. It's 
got some interesting behavior.
