Notice that there is now a copy of gdb.exe in the install directory. In the future, when testers find a crashing bug, they can instead open a console, cd into the inkscape directory, and type "gdb inkscape" then "run"
... then crash Inkscape, go to the console again, and type "bt" ...and give us the output.
If they aren't good at consoles, they can douple-click gdb.exe, and at the 'gdb>' prompt type "target exec inkscape.exe" then "run" ....as before..
This way our testers can be real testers and participants of the project. Several times this has allowed us to fix bugs quickly, and we really appreciate it.
