[cdt-debug-dev] Launch Config Rant (was: Gdbserver connection problem --

[Doug Schaefer <DSchaefer@xxxxxxx>]

Getting rid of the whole launch configuration concept saves the day :)

At the very least, it might worth rethinking the whole thing. Maybe we
should have different launch configurations per debugger (e.g. MinGW,
Windows, cygwin, Linux gnu, ...) instead of trying to share (which I hear no
one does anyway).
