[cdt-dev] interrupting Cygwin gdb has been fixed

Marc asked that I advertise this fix to the list. Basically, we've been interrupting the gdb inferior instead of gdb when it comes to a Cygwin debug session. I found out, with the help of the folks on the gdb mailing list, that this is unnecessary. We can interrupt gdb, but we should do so via a CTRL_C console event, and not utilize the cygwin 'kill -SIGINT' command. For more info, see:

This takes care of one serious DSF/CDI parity issue--the fact that you can't interrupt the program when debugging with Cygwin gdb (6.8). The same is currently true of MinGW gdb 6.8, but Marc has a fix already coded to address that.
