Post mortem debugging for Windows CE

Hi,

I wrote a program, see below, that can be used either on a development
host, or on a Windows CE target, to decode stuff from a dump file as
generated by CE.

I don't think gdb currently has this capability (to inspect postmortem
dump files) for debugging CE applications.

Is this something I should port into the gdb source tree and submit, or
is it not worth it ? If yes, please advise where this belongs.

Sources are in the SVN of the cegcc project
(https://cegcc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cegcc/trunk/cegcc/tools/cedump) .
