Oh yes.  That's right.  I think I even resisted this patch, mainly because
I could not believe that Windows was really that stupid.

I have a hard time with the idea that I have to add Windows-specific code
to gdb at this point.  I had an ITS (In The Shower) experience today and
realized that, of course, I could use the FindFirstFile technique to
get the right filename and your email confirms that.

This is a really hard change to make, though.  It will be like typing in
molasses getting this patch into gdb.  It just feels so wrong.
