Resend - got denied because of attachment size, so I've uploaded my diffs to
a web page.

Ok, I think this is the quickest way to get a working (as far as I can tell,
and I 
didn't play with it all that much, although I did load up the cxxtest.exe,
set a breakpoint,
run through, etc.) DDD 3.3.8 on cygwin:

1. Get the DDD 3.3.8 source and a gcc 3.3.x source.
2. Copy the gcc/include contents into ddd-3.3.8/include
3. Edit ddd-3.3.8/configure to remove the "old_archive_from_expsyms_cmds"
variable (patch
	below, which is just in the cygwin section of configure):

bash-2.05b$ diff -u ddd-3.3.8-orig/configure ddd-3.3.8/configure

4. bash ./configure
5. Edit all of ddd/*.C ddd/*.h to remove or guard all "#pragma interface"
and 
	"#pragma implementation" lines.
6. make
7. make install
8. run as normal.

The usual disclaimers apply.  I have included the output of:

diff -u -r -N ddd-3.3.8-orig/ ddd-3.3.8

Feel free to play with it if the prospect of handediting 500 .C and .h files
doesn't thrill you.
