[PATCH] Expand $CYGWIN error_start processing


I want to use QtCreator as my debugger but the hardcoded
nature of error_start makes that impossible.

This change allows a formatted commandline to be used where
'|' is used to represent spaces and <program-name> and
<process-id> are special tokens.

In my case, I set my CYGWIN env. var to
error_start:C:/Qt/bin/qtcreator.exe|-debug|<process-id>

.. note, QtCreator doesn't work if passed the program name
and must be invoked with the -debug option.

Ray Donnelly (1):
  * winsup/cygwin/exceptions.cc: Expand $CYGWIN error_start          
    processing so that custom commandlines can be passed to          
    the debugger program using '|' as an argument delimiter          
    and <program-name> and <process-id> as special tokens.
