Ok, now you can add me to the confused list, too.

Insight (I assume this is the GUI gdb we're talking about?) is built on
gdb. Gdb is a cygwin app, and, therefore, Insight is, too.

In both apps, I can type "file /home/keiths/foo.exe" and it will load
C:\Cygwin\home\keiths\foo.exe. Is this not cygwin-awareness?

What does NOT work, however, is Tcl. The tcl interp in Insight is _not_
cygwin aware, so you cannot do something like:

  (gdb) tk file stat /home/keiths/foo.exe

Instead, you need to use something like:

  (gdb) tk file stat [ide_cygwin_path to_win32 /home/keiths/foo.exe]
