Actually, there only is a list for the frontend.

It is currently part of the DbgIntf. But it should not be. And should be 
easily fixable.

The backend site has (through a forward handler) access to it.
The only use that is made of it, is to invalidate all watch values, if 
they changed (actually this is only used, if the user modified a watch).

The debugger should in that case send an event (or call an abstract 
method in the base class). This can then clear the values.

And the entire TWatches list can move up, into the current frontend.
