Besides various bugfixes, pretty much, yes.

Bump! :-)

Hmmm....

Do versions matter?

For embedded development, it doesn't seem like it is going to be
possible to seperate CDT and the plugin in the forseeable future.

Eclipse supports side-by-side install of the *entire* Eclipse and 
sharing of workspaces across Eclipse installations, so this is not the
end of the world.

What pragamtic solution could we come up with to reduce my CDT changes
to pure bugfixes?

Basically we need to:

- identify all the places where paths enter/exit the Eclipse universe
and Eclipse host OS != tool host OS. E.g develop with Eclipse
Windows/CygWin, or Eclipse Windows + Linux hosted GDB/GCC.
- Provide some sort of translation hook that can either be supported in
a plugin, or minimally a way to only require a ugly hack in a single
spot or two.

For those that wish to view my changes to CDT:
