Please don't be discouraged just because it doesn't fit well
into mingw-cross-env. In such a case, it's usually a good idea
to publish it on your own - in your case, as a build script or
as a plain gdb.exe. Maybe it's useful for someone else.
Some time ago I adjusted the margins of a linux printer driver
to make it fit on my specific printer. It was really just the
other driver with two lines changed. I never thought that it's
really useful. But as I spent a whole afternoon (and much paper)
to figure out the exact alignment values, I published it. A few
weeks later I got several personal notes of thanks via email.
I don't know whether it will be included into the official driver
suite, but I do know I helped some people out there.
So I strongly recommend to publish everything you spent some
time and work on.
Greets,
Volker
