This is as much as I know without having to look deeper into this,
but that should give you enough info to figure out the rest...

The change that improved the control-c behavior is the following one:

| 2009-03-22 Nicolas Roche <roche@adacore.com>
| Christopher Faylor <me+cygwin@cgf.cx>
|
| * win32-nat.c (ctrl_c_handler): New function.
| (win32_wait): Register ctrl_c_handler as Ctrl-C handler if the inferior
| is run in a separate console.

It depends of your environement, but basically, you press ctrl-c, or
you get the IDE to send this ctrl-c to GDB.
