There is only a few places where we run these files through Tcl commands.
Most of the other things go through Cygwin compiled code (gdb/gdbtk itself).
Also, the debug information is stored in the Cygwin way because the compiler
is a Cygwin compiler, not a Win32 program.
I actually followed Jim Ingham suggestion and, after looking a t the code,
I understood clearly why he proposed we did it this way.
