Turns out that the majority of distro besides gdb is in tcl & friends, and we have hacked some fixes into these that we haven't yet cleaned up for submission back to Scriptics. We intend to do this at some point, but we also want to move up to 8.2 at the same time, and there are some problems - building Tcl8.2 on cygwin, Tcl8.2's regular expressions vrs. the gdb testsuite, etc... that we will have to solve before we get to this. So, in sum, we can't really make this package right now, but doing so is one of our goals for the future.
