The GdbLaunch is being constructed by GdbLaunchDelegate.getLaunch().  
The control flow is kind of funny, but this method is part of the 
ILaunchConfigurationDelegate2 interface which was added in 3.0 release.  
BTW, the main purpose of implementing the ILaunch object is to allow the 
DSF-based view content providers to override the content providers for 
the standard debug model.

If you're already using the latest milestones of platform and CDT, what 
kinds of build errors are you getting at this point?
