Are there any libraries or small programs that make use of all of the
debugging information in COFF files?  I know about the syms module
(src/debug/common/syms.c IIRC) and GDB.

At the moment I am using the syms module, but it does not support
location of local variables on the stack, among other things.  I have
not been able to look at GDB because downloading such large sources is
impractical for me at the moment.

As far as I can see, edebug32 and fsdb just use the syms module and do
not support reading of local variables.

If it comes to the crunch and no suitable (small) library exists then
I'll make my own, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel.
