  Well, I'm working right now on integrating a Cygwin cross-sim-debugger.
According to the PR, the MinGW debugger is a place to integrate path handling.
 Won't the Cygwin debugger be a useful place to add Cygpath conversions, and
wouldn't that solve the problem in the PR by letting relative paths as well as
full file paths work?  I can contribute patches if that's what it would take
to make this debugger useful rather than obsoletion-worthy.

    cheers,
