DJ had to write debug32 since GDB can't normally debug applications on the
same PC that it's running on, because it needs multi-processing.  

A simple form of multi-processing would be to run a copy of GDB on a
PC,  communicating over the serial line (using the GDB remote
protocol) to another, running a debug stub (perhaps the guts of
debug32, or hooks in go32) and the application to be fixed.

The same PC (and a different transport mechanism) could be used when
running something like Deskview.

A side effect would be that it would allow you to debug PC apps on
machines which weren't PCs.

Any one up to this ?
