[Lazarus] Status of GDB and Lazarus/FPC debugging threaded apps

[Andrew Brunner]

The only reason why I have to maintain windows here is because of
debugging.  And I recently added a mechanism into the server that
contains code that required testing and I must have restarted the
desktop manager like 200 times... One time for each line of code :-o

So during times of heavy developmental changes this problem is severe
but I've been mitigating the issue by testing under Window.  The
reason why I bring this up is that I recognize that XP is probably
going to be fazed out and now that I've upgraded my laptop (ssd) XP
won't let me install it.  Which limits my options.  I suppose I'll
have to create a VirtualBox with XP on it.
