Re: [cdt-dev] proposal: remove several CDI debuggers

I'll vote for that. And some platform specific logic to not include debuggers that are NOT available on my platform. Like MinGW/MSYS debuggers on OS X. Or the Visual Studio Error Parsers on OS X.

that two of the debuggers available for CDI are redundant and obsolete (gdb Debugger and CygWin gdb Debugger). The list is quite long and confusing, so removing two of the entries would help a lot. Anyone have an objection to their removal? If we relocated Doug's debugger-finding logic to the gdb/mi debugger, we could even get rid of a third and actually give the CDI user a sensible, short list of debugger choices. Sure, we are focusing on DSF-GDB but there's no reason we can't take a little time and try to make sure those using or adopting CDI aren't hopelessly confused.
