I use a development environment different from VisualStudio (its SNiFF+
http://www.takefive.com). It is IMHO the best C++ IDE available.
Unfortunately there is no way (maybe TakeFive just didnīt find it, to
integrate the MS debugger within SNiFF+. For gdb of course an
integration exists. So I thought, if gdb would be able to debug MS code,
I could just use gdb. But It seems that this is rather unlikely as
another one (Jacob Navia <root AT jacob DOT remcomp DOT fr>) from this mailing

Maybe there are more people useing different IDEs (emacs?) but like to
debug MSVC created Apps. Maybe we can bring Cygnus so far to hire Jacob
for that project.
