Toby,

My company has decided to look at porting our code to MinGW, and thanks to
your build_cross.sh script it looks like we can stick with Macs, and it's
going to be a bit easier than we anticipated! (But we still have to get our
heads around make files!!)

The only thing that seems to be missing from the toolset is gdb. Have you
had any success in remote debugging OS X host -> Windows target? Is it
simple to do?
